Meeting the other”: the phrase conjures up a thousand scenes, images and words in Western literature. When Francisco Petrarca, known to the English literary world as Petrarch (1304-1374) initiated the Renaissance Age and encouraged the spread of humanism* through the study of classical ‘humanities’ (“humanitas” in Latin refers to the study of Ancient Greek and Roman texts)—the Italian poet steered Western thought and art toward the exploration of human encounters, putting love and friendship at the center storytelling and writing.
