Second Renaissance

The Second Renaissance, also known as the Stellar Renaissance, was a period in human history that marked the transition of mankind from a race struggling to maintain cohesion amongst the stars into that of a culturally vibrant, politically peaceful, and economically productive interstellar empire under the Coalition of Congressional Republics. Starting after the end of the Coalition Reconstruction following the Corporate Revolution, and spanning the 23rd and 24th centuries, the period was chiefly characterized by sociocultural and technological movements that sought to supersede the identities of Earthborne-era humanity; this included the end of major anti-AI sentiments following the Machine War and introduction of ideas such as AI rights, alongside new forms of humanism, planetarianism and stellarism, legacism, and controversial ideologies such as revitalized humanosupremacism or posthumanism.
