The importance, then, of this detailed and careful survey of Italy's leading Renaissance philosophers and the intricate philosophical problems of the time can scarcely be exaggerated.   Based upon the 1961 Arensberg Lectures, given at Stanford University, this collection of essays offers a genuinely unified interpretation of Italian Renaissance thought by describing and evaluating the philosophies of eight pivotal figures: Petrarch, Valla, Ficino, Pico, Pomponazzi, Telesio, Patrizi, and Bruno. The essays not only discuss the life, writings, and main ideas of these eight thinkers, but also establish through a connective text, the place each of them occupies in the general intellectual development of the Italian Renaissance.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49727058116881,"sku":"GOR009634588","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50412580438289,"sku":"CIN0804701113G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51090899534097,"sku":"NIN9780804701112","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0804701113.jpg?v=1757413416"},{"product_id":"the-classics-and-renaissance-thought-no-15-rare-book-paul-oskar-kristeller-1674721194bab","title":"The Classics and Renaissance Thought (no.15)","description":"1955.

Here, in some of Paul Oskar Kristeller's most comprehensive and ambitious writings, is an exploration of the distinctive trends and concepts of the Renaissance, grounded in detailed historical investigation.All of these fourteen essays were originally delivered as lectures. Part One identifies the classical sources of Renaissance thought and exposes its essential physiognomy, indicating its humanist, Aristotelian, and Platonist traditions. The next two parts present Renaissance thought in the historical context of the Latin and Greek Middle Ages. Part Four offers a thematic study of Renaissance thought, examining its characteristic conceptions of man's dignity, destiny, and grasp of truth. Part Five forms a summary from the perspective of a central theme of Renaissance intellectual life and of the entire Western tradition: the relation of language to thought and the seemingly insoluble contest between our literary and philosophical traditions.The reader of \"Renaissance Thought and its Sources\" enjoys the results of meticulous study in a concise yet comprehensive format. Throughout, Kristeller achieves a graceful blending of sever historical scholarship and adherence to humane values that the editor calls \"nearly a lost art in our times.\"","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50346055827729,"sku":"CIN0231045131G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50704686383377,"sku":"GOR006062006","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51747153346833,"sku":"CIN0231045131VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0231045131.jpg?v=1751133684"},{"product_id":"medieval-aspects-of-renaissance-learning-book-paul-oskar-kristeller-9780231079501","title":"Medieval Aspects of Renaissance Learning","description":"This study charts the continuing influence of medieval scholastic thought in Renaissance civilization. In the three essays, Paul Oskar Kristellar illustrates the way medieval ideas and issues remained active in Renaissance philosophy, theology, literature and in education, both secular and religious. In his first essay, Kristeller explains the conflicts in various Renaissance literatures - between rigorous scholastic writings and eloquent humanist ones, between texts written in Latin and those in the vernacular - by appealing to a notion of literary genre which aligns different types of text with distinct audiences. The second essay considers the influence of St Thomas Aquinas during the Italian Renaissance, showing that he was widely read and respected by major humanists, and contributed to the debates over the distinction between philosophy and theology and the relative importance of the intellect and the will. The final essay suggests that monks and friars play a more important role in Renaissance thought than is usually realized. They made monastic libraries available to humanist scholars, and actively engaged in the intellectual disputes of their time.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50346957766929,"sku":"CIN0231079508G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0231107455_a46612d6-c3a6-4e83-a872-eb4d49e384f5.jpg?v=1751323483"},{"product_id":"eight-philosophers-of-the-italian-renaissance-book-paul-oskar-kristeller-9780804701105","title":"Eight Philosophers of the Italian Renaissance","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50361675153681,"sku":"CIN0804701105A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0804701105.jpg?v=1751296194"},{"product_id":"studies-on-renaissance-humanism-during-the-last-twenty-years-book-paul-oskar-kristeller-9781258145460","title":"Studies On Renaissance Humanism During The Last Twenty Years","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51385421627665,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51385422807313,"sku":"NIN9781258145460","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1258145464.jpg?v=1751270629"},{"product_id":"studies-on-renaissance-humanism-during-the-last-twenty-years-book-paul-oskar-kristeller-9781258045999","title":"Studies On Renaissance Humanism During The Last Twenty Years","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51633525457169,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51633525883153,"sku":"NIN9781258045999","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1258045990.jpg?v=1750753889"},{"product_id":"renaissance-concepts-of-man-and-other-essays-book-paul-oskar-kristeller-9780061316852","title":"Renaissance Concepts of Man and Other Essays","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53451771445521,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53451771773201,"sku":"GOR014928188","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780061316852.jpg?v=1776932686"},{"product_id":"greek-philosophers-of-the-hellenistic-age-book-paul-oskar-kristeller-9780231079525","title":"Greek Philosophers of the Hellenistic Age","description":"This volume treats a fascinating but much neglected period in the history of ancient philosophy between the third and first centuries BC.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53627606794513,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53627606892817,"sku":"GOR009978490","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780231079525.jpg?v=1780755784"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-paul-oskar-kristeller.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
