Byzantine and Renaissance Philosophy: A History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps, Volume 6
The Byzantine Renaissance: A Journey of Intellectual Discovery is a comprehensive guide that takes readers on an engaging and wide-ranging exploration of the rich intellectual history of the Byzantine Empire and the Italian Renaissance.
With a focus on the thinkers and movements of these two great cultural traditions, this book provides a detailed introduction to the philosophical significance of iconoclasm, conceptions of gender, scientific, political, and historical literature of Byzantium, and the rebirth of philosophy in Italy in the 15th and 16th centuries. Throughout the book, readers will encounter fascinating figures such as John of Damascus, Michael Psellos, Anna Komnene, Gregory Palamas, Christine de Pizan, Niccolò Machiavelli, Giordano Bruno, and Galileo, among others.
The author also sheds light on lesser-known contemporaries, including Lorenzo Valla, Girolamo Savonarola, and Bernardino Telesio, highlighting the close connection between these thinkers and the emergence of humanism in Italy. The book covers major historical themes such as the humanist engagement with ancient literature, the emergence of women humanists, the flowering of Republican government in Renaissance Italy, the continuation of Aristotelian and scholastic philosophy alongside humanism, and breakthroughs in science.
With its comprehensive approach and engaging narrative style, The Byzantine Renaissance is an essential read for anyone interested in exploring the intellectual history of these two great cultural traditions.
