The Individual and the Cosmos in Renaissance Philosophy
Book (italiano):
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">This provocative volume, one of the most important interpretive works on the philosophical thought of the Renaissance, has long been regarded as a classic in its field. Ernst Cassirer here examines the changes brewing in the early stages of the Renaissance, tracing the interdependence of philosophy, language, art, and science; the newfound recognition of individual consciousness; and the great thinkers of the period—from da Vinci and Galileo to Pico della Mirandola and Giordano Bruno. <I>The Individual and the Cosmos in Renaissance Philosophy</I> discusses the importance of fifteenth-century philosopher Nicholas Cusanus, the concepts of freedom and necessity, and the subject-object problem in Renaissance thought.</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">“This fluent translation of a scholarly and penetrating original leaves little impression of an attempt to show that a 'spirit of the age' or 'spiritual essence of the time' unifies and expresses itself in all aspects of society or culture.”—<I>Philosophy</I></P>
