Other terms in the definition relate to cultural expressions like the arts, literature and learning, which include the sciences. These refer to cultural manifestations or characteristics that we group according to ther style and content, as well as the time in which they were made. Renaissance arts and culture have a certain "look and feel". Two adjectives tell us more about their content and appearance: "classical" and "humanistic". Classical is a term used to describe the styles and learning of the ancient Greeks and Romans. Sometimes it implies ancient knowledge from other cultures as well. "Humanism" is an intriguing term specific to the Renaissance, which contains the root "human", a culturally universal term. Understanding both of these terms will require more elaboration. They will appear in several sections of this unit. Both are areas of interest to recent historians.
