When does Renaissance philosophy end, and Early Modern philosophy
begin? Do Renaissance philosophers have something in common, which
distinguishes them from Early Modern philosophers? And ultimately,
what defines the modernity of the Early Modern period, and what
role did the Renaissance play in shaping it? The answers to these
questions are not just chronological. This book challenges
traditional constructions of these periods, which partly reflect
the prejudice that the Renaissance was a literary and artistic
phenomenon, rather than a philosophical phase. The essays in this
book investigate how the legacy of Renaissance philosophers
persisted in the following centuries through the direct encounters
of subsequent generations with Renaissance philosophical texts.
This volume treats Early Modern philosophers as joining their
predecessors as 'conversation partners': the 'conversations' in
this book feature, among others, Girolamo Cardano and Henry More,
Thomas Hobbes and Lorenzo Valla, Bernardino Telesio and Francis
Bacon, Rene Descartes and Tommaso Campanella, Giulio Cesare Vanini
and the anonymous Theophrastus redivivus.
