This is a 5 page paper discussing Jacob Burckhardt’s “The Fall of the Humanists in the Sixteenth Century”. Jacob Burckhardt’s writings on “The Fall of the Humanists in the Sixteenth Century” in part III of his work “The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy” discusses how the humanist movement away from the affiliation between the church and the state back toward the traditional positive views of man introduced by the ancient Greeks and Romans offered a progressive and excessive view of society which was eventually not well accepted and which led to the downfall of the humanists. While Burckhardt generally did not believe that accelerated movements in history were good for society, other modern scholars and critics believe that this perspective of Burckhardt’s may actually have been a reflection of the excesses he was witnessing in 19th century Europe. While those who believed in the importance of the functioning of the church and the state supported Burckhardt’s views, others advocated that the humanist movement actually developed a sense of liberalism and the equality of man considered an essential element in today’s democratic societies.
