This book examines the revival of antique philosophy in the
Renaissance as a literary preoccupation informed by wit. Humanists
were more inspired by the fictionalized characters of certain wise
fools, including Diogenes the Cynic, Socrates, Aesop, Democritus,
and Heraclitus, than by codified systems of thought. Rich in
detail, this study offers a systematic treatment of wide-ranging
Renaissance imagery and metaphors and presents a detailed
iconography of certain classical philosophers. Ultimately, the
problems of Renaissance humanism are revealed to reflect the
concerns of humanists in the twenty-first century.
