Philip Melanchthon (1497-1560), humanist and colleague of Martin
Luther, is best known for his educational reforms, for which he
earned the title Praeceptor Germaniae (the Teacher of Germany). His
most influential form of philosophical writing was the academic
oration, and this volume, first published in 1999, presents a large
and wide-ranging selection of his orations and textbook prefaces
translated into English. They set out his views on the distinction
between faith and reason, the role of philosophy in education,
moral philosophy, natural philosophy, astronomy and astrology, and
the importance of philosophy to a true Christian, as well as his
views on Classical philosophical authorities such as Plato and
Aristotle and on contemporaries such as Erasmus and Luther.
Powerfully influential in their time, inspiring many Protestant
students to study philosophy, mathematics and natural philosophy,
they illuminate the relationship between Renaissance and
Reformation thought.
