Book Description
The Renaissance Philosophy of Man: Petrarca, Valla, Ficino, Pico, Pomponazzi, Vives (Phoenix Books)
Despite our admiration for Renaissance achievement in the arts and sciences, in literature and classical learning, the rich and diversified philosophical thought of the period remains largely unknown. This volume illuminates three major currents of thought dominant in the earlier Italian Renaissance: classical humanism (Petrarch and Valla), Platonism (Ficino and Pico), and Aristotelianism (Pomponazzi). A short and elegant work of the Spaniard Vives is included to exhibit the diffusion of the ideas of humanism and Platonism outside Italy. Now made easily accessible, these texts recover for the English reader a significant facet of Renaissance learning.
Ernst Cassirer
Ernst Cassirer (1874 - 1945) was a German philosopher and historian of philosophy who belonged to the so-called Marburg School of "neo-Kantian philosophy". He is best known as the most prominent commentator of Kantian critical philosophy in the twentieth century. He left Germany in 1933, and died in New York. Among his most famous works are: “Essence and Function” (1910), “Freedom and Form” (1916), “Philosophy of Symbolic Forms” (1923 - 1929), “Myth and the State” (1942), “Symbol, Myth and Culture” (1979), “Language and Myth.” (1925).
