| Research Abstract |
The studies of Renaissance, i.e. of the transition/transformation of European civilization from medieval to modern, has been a touchstone of historians from the beginning of modern historical science in the nineteenth century. And it remains one of the most significant themes for students of humanities as well.
The research project team has examined the shifting images of Renaissance based upon the recent accumulation of historical researches. Firstly, specialists of Mediterranean antiquity have given a refreshing view of the 'reborn' classical antiquity. Secondly, medieval and early modern historians have given revising views of Renaissance Europe which had growing relations with the non-Europe. The 'discovery of the world and the human' (Burckhardt) continues to develop through the reconnaissance, humanist studies and the reformation into the enlightenment. The relations of Europe with the outer world have come to a circular conclusion by the end of the eighteenth century. This relates to a revision of modernity. Thirdly, the collaborators who commit to the reorganization of contemporary knowledge will continue to contribute to the reconstruction of historical studies from the wider perspective of history of civilization and humanity.
