Book Synopsis Models of the History of Philosophy: From its Origins in the Renaissance to the ‘Historia Philosophica’ by : Giovanni Santinello
Download or read book Models of the History of Philosophy: From its Origins in the Renaissance to the ‘Historia Philosophica’ written by Giovanni Santinello and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Models of the History of Philosophy. From its Origins in the Renaissance to the `Historia philosophica' (a translation of a work published in 1981 in Italian - the bibliography has been updated) gives a comprehensive description of the various forms and approaches in the literature of the history of philosophy from the fifteenth to the middle of the seventeenth century. Several traditions are described, from the well known `prisca theologia' and `perennis philosophia' traditions of Marsilio Ficino and Augustino Steuco, which claimed that the Greeks got their philosophy from the East, to the unknown influence of Scepticism on the history of philosophy by the recovery of Sextus Empiricus, and the German Protestant critical attack on Greek philosophy as Atheistic which was the tradition of the history of philosophy out of which Leibniz developed. Each individual historian of philosophy is given a separate entry which includes a biography, a complete bibliography of his works, a description of his history of philosophy and ends with both an assessment of his reputation during his own time and a complete listing of recent literature on him. As a result the substantial variety in the way the history of philosophy was written and, with it, an overview of the way western civilization developed is described in detail for the first time. For university history of literature, history of culture, history of religion and history of philosophy classes. The book can be used both for undergraduate courses (for specific reading assignments) and as background material for graduate courses. The bibliography provides important aids to many topics which have previously been almost inaccessible.
Book Synopsis Andrew Melville and Humanism in Renaissance Scotland 1545-1622 by : Ernest R. Holloway III
Download or read book Andrew Melville and Humanism in Renaissance Scotland 1545-1622 written by Ernest R. Holloway III and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2011-06-22 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intellectual legacy of Andrew Melville (1545-1622) as a leader of the Renaissance and a promoter of humanism in Scotland has been obscured by "the Melville legend." In an effort to dispense with 'the Melville of popular imagination' and recover 'the Melville of history,' this work situates his life and thought within the broader context of the northern European Renaissance and French humanism and critically re-evaluates the primary historical documents of the period, namely James Melville's Autobiography and Diary and the Melvini epistolae. By considering Melville as a humanist, university reformer, ecclesiastical statesman, and man, an effort has been made to determine his contribution to the flowering of the Renaissance and the growth of humanism in Scotland during the early modern period.
Book Synopsis Die Stiftung von Autorschaft in der neulateinischen Literatur (ca. 1350-ca. 1650) by : Karl A. E. Enenkel
Download or read book Die Stiftung von Autorschaft in der neulateinischen Literatur (ca. 1350-ca. 1650) written by Karl A. E. Enenkel and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-10-30 with total page 685 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book throws new light on the question of authorship in the Latin literature of the later medieval and in the early modern periods. It shows that authorship was not something to be automatically assumed in an empathic sense, but was chiefly to be found in the paratextual features of works and was imparted by them. This study examines the strategies and tools used by authors ca. 1350-1650, to assert their authorial aspirations. Enenkel demonstrates how they incorporated themselves into secular, ecclesiastical, spiritual and intellectual power structures. He shows that in doing so rituals linked to the ceremonial of ruling, played a fundamental role, for example, the ritual presentation of a book or the crowning of a poet. Furthermore Enenkel establishes a series of qualifications for entry to the Respublica litteraria, with which the authors of books announced their claims to authorship.

Book Synopsis Das Ende des Hermetismus by : Martin Mulsow
Download or read book Das Ende des Hermetismus written by Martin Mulsow and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2002 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English summary: When did the Renaissance end? With provocative precision, Frances Yates said it ended in 1614, the year in which Isaac Casaubon exposed the allegedly ancient writings of Hermes Trismegistos as a forgery from late antiquity. However Casaubon was not the first person to produce arguments against the Corpus Hermeticum. During the 1580s in Venice and Padua there had already been an intense debate regarding the date, a debate which is documented in this volume. The essays, written by internationally renowned scholars of the Renaissance, place this in the context of recent developments in the philosophy of nature by Telesio and Patrizi and reveal the ideological interests of hermetists and anti-hermetists. Thus the 'end of the Renaissance' and the 'end of hermeticism' came considerably earlier than researchers had assumed up to now. German description: Wann ist die Renaissance zu Ende gegangen? Frances Yates hat ihr Ende provokativ prazise mit 1614 angegeben, dem Jahr, in dem Isaac Casaubon die angeblich uralten Schriften des Hermes Trismegistos als spatantike Falschungen entlarvt hat. Doch Casaubon war nicht der erste, der Argumente gegen das 'Corpus Hermeticum' vorgebracht hat. Schon im Venedig und Padua der 1580er Jahre gab es eine intensive Datierungsdebatte. Neue handschriftliche Funde zeigen, wie komplex bereits die mundlich erorterten Einwande gegen Hermes gewesen sind. Dieser Band dokumentiert die Datierungsdebatte. Die Beitrage von international renommierten Renaissanceforschern stellen sie in den Kontext der neuen naturphilosophischen Entwicklungen um Telesio und Patrizi und offenbaren die ideologischen Interessen von Hermetikern und Antihermetikern. Das 'Ende der Renaissance' und das 'Ende des Hermetismus' sind also erheblich fruher anzusetzen als bisher angenommen. Sie erweisen sich als ein langfristiger komplexer Prozess im Spannungsfeld von philologischer Kritik, philosophischer Spekulation und naturwissenschaftlicher Empirie.
Book Synopsis The Theater of Nature by : Ann Blair
Download or read book The Theater of Nature written by Ann Blair and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Theater of Nature is histoire totale of the last work of the political philosopher Jean Bodin, his Universae naturae theatrum (1596). Through Bodin's work, Ann Blair explores the fascinating and previously little known world of late Renaissance natural philosophy. A study of the text, of its context (through comparisons with different genres of natural philosophy and works entitled "Theater"), and of its reception in the seventeenth century highlights above all the religious motivations, encyclopedic ambitions, and bookish methods characterizing much of late Renaissance science. Amid the religious crisis and the explosion of knowledge in the late sixteenth century, natural philosophy offered grounds for consensus across religious divides and a vast collection of useful and pleasant information, admired for both its order and its variety. The commonplace book provided a versatile tool for gathering and sorting bits of natural knowledge garnered from a wide array of bookish sources and "experience,'' fueling a vigorous cycle of text-based science at least through the mid-seventeenth century. The miscellaneous genre of the problemata into which Bodin's text was adapted attracted more popular audiences until even later. To place the Theatrum in its cultural context is also to reveal more clearly the peculiarities of Bodin's philosophical project in this, its final expression. He combined arguments from reason, experience, and authority to undermine traditional Aristotelian conclusions and proposed instead a natural philosophy based on pious, often biblical, solutions.

Download or read book Thuanus written by Ingrid De Smet and published by Librairie Droz. This book was released on 2006 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Parisian magistrate Jacques-Auguste de Thou (1553-1617) was a major figure in the French Wars of Religion (1562-1598) and their immediate aftermath. Best known for his magisterial History of his own times (covering 1546-1607), and his complementary Memoirs (covering 1553-1601), de Thou was a key political negotiator, a famous book-collector and an influential patron to scholars and writers, as well as a respected poet in his own right and a prolific correspondent. This is the first monograph on de Thou since Samuel Kinser's bibliographical study of 1966. In the course of five chapters, thematically arranged between a substantial introduction and a dramatic conclusion, Ingrid De Smet meticulously unpicks de Thou's strategies of self-fashioning and career enhancement as well as the conditions that led to his fall from grace. In doing so, this monograph not only rehabilitates de Thou as a creative (neo-Latin) writer of international allure, it also uncovers and contextualizes the complexities of de Thou's life, writings, and thought.
