This book explores the tangled relationship between literary
production and epistemological foundation as exemplified in one of
the masterpieces of Italian literature. Filippo Andrei argues that
Giovanni Boccaccio's Decameron has a significant though concealed
engagement with philosophy, and that the philosophical implications
of its narratives can be understood through an epistemological
approach to the text. He analyzes the influence of Dante, Petrarch,
Thomas Aquinas, Aristotle, and other classical and medieval
thinkers on Boccaccio's attitudes towards ethics and
knowledge-seeking. Beyond providing an epistemological reading of
the Decameron, this book also evaluates how a theoretical
reflection on the nature of rhetoric and poetic imagination can
ultimately elicit a theory of knowledge.
