Sixteenth century philosophy was a unique synthesis of several
philosophical frameworks, a blend of old and new, including but not
limited to Scholasticism, Humanism, Neo-Thomism, Aristotelianism,
and Stoicism. Unlike most overviews of this period, The Routledge
Companion to Sixteenth Century Philosophy does not simplify this
colorful era by applying some traditional dichotomies, such as the
misleading line once drawn between scholasticism and humanism.
Instead, the Companion closely covers an astonishingly diverse set
of topics: philosophical methodologies of the time, the importance
of the discovery of the new world, the rise of classical
scholarship, trends in logic and logical theory, Nominalism,
Averroism, the Jesuits, the Reformation, Neo-stoicism, the soul's
immortality, skepticism, the philosophies of language and science
and politics, cosmology, the nature of the understanding,
causality, ethics, freedom of the will, natural law, the emergence
of the individual in society, the nature of wisdom, and the love of
god. Throughout, the Companion seeks not to compartmentalize these
philosophical matters, but instead to show that close attention
paid to their continuity may help reveal both the diversity and the
profound coherence of the philosophies that emerged in the
sixteenth century. The Companion's 27 chapters are published here
for the first time, and written by an international team of
scholars, and accessible for both students and researchers.
