Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Diagrams were a vital tool for Nikolaus von Kues, the 15th-century scholar, to convey divine truths. He commissioned colorful illustrations for his work, which modern interpretations often reduce to black and white, missing their deeper significance. Cusa's use of color mirrors the interplay of light and darkness, reflecting his theological concepts of God's visibility and hiddenness. These diagrams not only represent his epistemology and ontology but also invite viewers to engage in the pursuit of truth, showcasing Cusa's innovative approach within medieval traditions.
