Generalization of accumulated experience in researching the Western Europe Renaissance discovered the unique integration of religious and social basis of that period in culture. Analytical review of the spectrum of modern interpretations and original conceptions of philosophers-humanists allowed to describe the features of perfect human and perfect God during the Renaissance culture. Dialectical relationship between human and God are concretized in the ‘Son of God’ concept discussed in a number of N. Kuzansky’s works. In works by philosophershumanists God is revealed and understood only through the ideal (representative) relationship with the human. According to the synthetic conception ideal representation is typical for all relations where the sides try to go beyond their own limits and to display itself through the other.
