The impact of classical thought on Renaissance philosophy is the
subject of this volume. In the first part Dr Kraye deals with the
interpretations of ancient philosophy put forward by various
thinkers of the Italian Renaissance, including the humanist Angelo
Poliziano and the Platonist Marsilio Ficino; in the second, she
examines the central role of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics within
Renaissance moral philosophy and considers the influence of other
classical treatises on ethics, especially the Meditations of Marcus
Aurelius. The final section explores controversies concerning the
authenticity of works in the Aristotelian canon, together with the
early printing history of Aristotle. All the articles aim to locate
philosophical questions within the historical and cultural context
of the Renaissance, and particular attention is paid to the
importance of philological scholarship within philosophical
debates. The collection includes an essay on Philipp Melanchthon's
ethical commentaries and textbooks which has previously appeared
only in German translation.
