ARGUMENT

Humanism focuses on human experience and naturalistic perspectives, and emphasizes the human being’s potential for achievement or greatness in all things.

The Greek emphasis of human as measure extends this notion from proportions of Greek architecture to sculptural study of human form

EVIDENCE

Political organization of the poleis - emphasis on citizenship, governing body of individuals - not tied to religion

Architecture corrected for human view - subjectivity enacted on the object of architecture - entasis

Figuration in art privileges realism and naturalism over idealism
