Paul Oskar Kristeller fu un eminente studioso dell'umanesimo rinascimentale, dedicando il suo lavoro alla filosofia di quest'epoca trasformativa. La sua ricerca si addentrò nei pensatori chiave del pensiero rinascimentale e la sua vasta erudizione, in particolare il suo monumentale catalogo di manoscritti non catalogati, offre una risorsa inestimabile per la comprensione della cultura rinascimentale. L'influenza di Kristeller si estese alla filosofia dell'arte, dove i suoi saggi divennero letture seminali. Promosse anche un importante progetto che traccia la ricezione delle opere classiche attraverso il Medioevo e il Rinascimento.

This volume treats a fascinating but much neglected period in the history of ancient philosophy between the third and first centuries BC.
Features essays that deal with Renaissance humanism and philosophy, and also with Renaissance theories of art. This title focuses on topics such as humanist learning, humanist moral thought, the diffusion of humanism, Platonism, music and learning during the early Renaissance, and the modern system of arts in relation to the Renaissance.
Italian Renaissance thought has been gaining ever-increasing recognition as seminal to the thought of the whole Renaissance period, affecting in many subtle ways the development and understanding of artistic, literary, scientific, and religious movements. 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 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.
