Philosophy in the Renaissance - An Anthology (Paperback)

The Renaissance was a period of great intellectual change and
innovation as philosophers rediscovered the philosophy of classical
antiquity and passed it on to the modern age. Renaissance
philosophy is distinct both from the medieval scholasticism, based
on revelation and authority, and from philosophers of the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries who transformed it into new
philosophical systems. Despite the importance of the Renaissance to
the development of philosophy over time, it has remained largely
understudied by historians of philosophy and professional
philosophers. This anthology aims to correct this by providing
scholars and students of philosophy with representative
translations of the most important philosophers of the Renaissance.
Its purpose is to help readers appreciate philosophy in the
Renaissance and its importance in the history of philosophy. The
anthology includes translations from philosophers from the
thirteenth to the seventeenth centuries, and it ranges from works
on moral and political philosophy, to metaphysics, epistemology,
and natural philosophy, thereby providing historians and students
of philosophy with a sense for the nature, breadth, and complexity
of philosophy in the Renaissance. Each translation is accompanied
by an introduction by a historian of Renaissance philosophy, as
well as select secondary sources, in order to encourage further
study. This anthology is a companion to Philosophers of the
Renaissance, which included essays on the writings of the same
group of philosophers of the Renaissance: Raymond Llull, Gemistos
Plethon, George of Trebizond, Basil Bessarion, Lorenzo Valla,
Nicholas of Cusa, Leon Battista Alberti, Giovanni Pico della
Mirandola, Marsilio Ficino, Pietro Pomponazzi, Niccolò
Machiavelli, Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim, Juan Luis
Vives, Philipp Melanchthon, Petrus Ramus, Bernardino Telesio,
Jacopo Zabarella, Michel de Montaigne, Francesco Patrizi, Giordano
Bruno, Francisco Suà rez, Tommaso Campanella.
