Kenneth Clark's Civilisation 04: Man The Measure of all Things

No, we don't really feel like the average artist, trader, artisan, nor even politician in the Renaissance walking around as immortal beings any more, but then they did that because they still believed in themselves and mankind. Nowadays we clearly don't believe in ourselves any more. What do we really believe? How about those alternative facts, those wild conspiracy theories online, etc. What's the way out? Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto was something Montaigne would have know too. He was living in a world equally shaken, almost turned upside down, that of a France dominated by its awful Religious War. Personally, what I have only recently come to realise is that true love comes always with hurt. Yes, we are all but human at both ends of the spectrum, but why throw out love, beauty, spirituality and reason because of it? Come and let us visit Urbino once again!
