Abstract

The Humanities are thus designated because they derive from an anthropocentric conception of culture, knowledge and education predicated upon the human being. Enhanced by the biblical image of man created in the likeness of God, this idea prevailed in medieval thought and in Christian Renaissance humanism. Nowadays the Humanities are deemed essential to the construction of Europe in documents governing the European Higher Education Area. For more than two millennia (and notwithstanding the challenges faced by Humanities courses) educational institutions, and in due course universities, have been guardians of humanistic tradition and have promoted knowledge in all its facets.
