Paper Summary:
This paper is a book report of Baldesar Castiglione's, "The Book of the Courtier". Castiglione's humanism profoundly influences his idea, especially about what constitutes the perfect courtier. Indeed, it is clear that Castiglione perceives the importance of man turning toward himself for his own decisions, and of increasing his questioning of authority in all aspects of life. Castaglione clearly struggles with the question of whether or not society should have a certain goal toward which aspiring people should direct their efforts. In life, Castiglione reveals, there must be a certain emphasis on measuring our accomplishments with those of other people. This is important in order for humans to be able to excel in life, and for them not to remain puppets of some religious institution.More papers on Castiglione's Humanism:
