Document Summary
Humanism: man is the measure of what there is that it is and of what there is not, that it is not. Phenomena means things, it is reality from any given perspective. If gods do exist, they are not subject to the laws of nature but humans are subject to the laws of nature. There are different allegorically in term of epistemology. What you look like to me is reflected from light and wave length, what you look like is not you it is just your reflection. You can know things that you do not know. Example: trigonometry; all you need to know is that it has 3 lines and that it intersects, that is all you need to know in order to understand trigonometry. It is very difficult to explain without experience. Plado says all of the books, things, cars etc that we characterize have something in common/similar. We characterize things which makes it more understandable for us.
