Abstract

This article discusses the christian religiosity essence of the first humanists in its vivid relations with a wide movement of political and cultural renovation based on the rescue of classical culture. In order to investigate christian religiosity in its deepest relations with humanist anthropology and the theoretical emphasis on human nature, it is emphasized the investigation of the florentine neoplatonism's philosophical and religious ideals, especially as it appears in The Discourse of The Human Dignity of Pico Della Mirandola.
