Despite our admiration for Renaissance achievement in the arts and
sciences, in literature and classical learning, the rich and
diversified philosophical thought of the period remains largely
unknown. This volume illuminates three major currents of thought
dominant in the earlier Italian Renaissance: classical humanism
(Petrarch and Valla), Platonism (Ficino and Pico), and
Aristotelianism (Pomponazzi). A short and elegant work of the
Spaniard Vives is included to exhibit the diffusion of the ideas of
humanism and Platonism outside Italy. Now made easily accessible,
these texts recover for the English reader a significant facet of
Renaissance learning.
