Humanism or Renaissance humanism is a name for the cultural movement in Europe during the Middle Ages and the renaissance, that revived the language (in particular the Greek language), science and poetry of antiquity (mainly Ancient Greece).

To a certain extent, this could include an orientation toward antique value systems and deviation from the prevailing christian doctrine. From this comes the second meaning of the word.

Humanism -- the Humanist Doctrine

Humanism is a doctrine, attitude, or way of life centered on human interests or values, stressing an individual's dignity and worth and capacity for self-realization through reason and other human skills. It usually rejects supernaturalism, but some religious people consider themselves humanists.
