This collective work offers a nuanced analysis of the evolution of the notion of human dignity during the Renaissance, from Dante and Erasmus to Michel de Montaigne. The rigidity of the medieval order was progressively replaced with the uncertainty of a liberty enabling man to rise to the level of angels or descend to that of beasts.
