Individualism was a new idea that became popular among Renaissance thinkers. During the Middle Ages, the individual was understood by his social place, and the relationships that he had with other people. Therefore, identities were built through communitarian ties. Moreover, religion placed little value on the person, as it was believed all people were sinners and unworthy of appreciation. The Renaissance had a much more positive attitude towards the individual, by exploring the capabilities of man. It argued that men were capable of great accomplishments, and that they could be cultivated in order to become virtuous.
