Book Synopsis Inexcusabiles: Salvation and the Virtues of the Pagans in the Early Modern Period by : Alberto Frigo
Download or read book Inexcusabiles: Salvation and the Virtues of the Pagans in the Early Modern Period written by Alberto Frigo and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-14 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thought provoking book deals with religious scholarship and important controversies of the early modern period, specifically those relating to the question of the salvation of the pagans and the afterlife. From the Reformation, through the Renaissance and on to the seventeenth and eighteenth century, this was a time when religious scholarship was updated with the discoveries of the New World and colonial expansion. These chapters present new work, shedding light on the interplay of philosophy and theology in key thinkers such as Montaigne, Leibniz, Bayle and Spinoza, but also in less known authors such as Gianfrancesco Pico della Mirandola and Sebastian Castellio. Readers will discover analysis of the reshaping of specific theological issues, focussing on the reception of ancient philosophical traditions such as Platonism, Aristotelianism, Stoicism, Epicureanism, and scepticism. The authors investigate the relationship between the ethical models inspired by the heroes and philosophers of antiquity and the ‘new philosophy’. Above all, this book enables exploration of the ways in which discussions of the salvation and virtues of pagans intersected with the early modern reception of ancient philosophy, including a reassessment of the question of the moral status of unbelievers in the early modern period. Students and faculty working on early modern intellectual history will find that this book both inspires and enriches their knowledge. Those with an interest in Renaissance humanism, the history of early modern philosophy and science, in theology, or the history of religion will also appreciate the new contributions that it makes.
Book Synopsis The Skeptical Enlightenment by : Jeffrey D. Burson
Download or read book The Skeptical Enlightenment written by Jeffrey D. Burson and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-31 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Althoughmany historical narratives often describe the eighteenth century as an unalloyed'Age of Reason', Enlightenment thinkers continued to grapple with thechallenges posed by the revival and spread of philosophical skepticism. Theimperative to overcome doubt and uncertainty informed some of the mostinnovative characteristics of eighteenth-century intellectual culture,including not only debates about epistemology and metaphysics but also mattersof jurisprudence, theology, history, moral philosophy, and politics. Thinkersof this period debated about, established, and productively worked for progresswithin the parameters of the increasingly circumscribed boundaries of humanreason. No longer considered innate and consistently perfect, reason insteadbecame conceived as a faculty that was inherently fallible, limited by personalexperiences, and in need of improvement throughout the course of anyindividual's life. In its depictionof a complicated, variegated, and diverse Enlightenment culture, this volume examines the process by whichphilosophical skepticism was challenged and gradually tamed to bring about ananxious confidence in the powers of human understanding. The variouscontributions collectively demonstrate that philosophical skepticism, andnot simply unshakable confidence in the powers of reason or the optimisticassumption about inevitable human improvement, was, in fact, the crucible ofthe Enlightenment process itself.
