  • Philosophy as Descartes Found It

    Brian Copenhaver, Brian P CopenhaverBOOKPhilosophy As Descartes Found It2024

    What was philosophy like before Descartes reformed it? What parts of philosophy did he reform, and what tools did he use? To answer such questions, how should philosophers do their work today? Some answers are surprising—that Descartes wrote picture books, for example. And some are challenging—that philosophers would do their work better by spending less time on philosophy as they commonly understand it. Philosophy changes for non-philosophical r…

  • Pico’s Conclusions . Setting, Structure, Text, Sources and Aims

    Brian P CopenhaverARTICLEJournal of the Warburg and…2023

    Giovanni Pico della Mirandola had his 900 Conclusions printed late in 1486, just a few weeks before Pope Innocent VIII attacked thirteen of them. Did Pico intend to provoke the Vatican? If not, what was his aim, what were his means and what was the product? The Conclusions looks like a miscellany, just as Pico described it. But disorder was only on the surface, in line with a purpose explicitly stated: keeping the holiest truths hidden. Pico’s in…

  • Pico della Mirandola on Trial

    Brian Copenhaver, Brian P CopenhaverBOOKPico Della Mirandola on Trial2022Citada por: 1Referencias: 10

    Giovanni Pico della Mirandola (1463-94) has been a beacon of progress in modern times, and the celebrated Oration on the Dignity of Man has been the engine of his fame. But he never wrote a speech about the dignity of man. The prince's speech announced quite different projects: persuading Christians to become Kabbalists in order to annihilate themselves in God; and convincing philosophers that their path to saving wisdom was concord rather than d…

    Egidio da Viterbo (1469–1532) wrote his Book on Hebrew Letters (Libellus de litteris hebraicis) in 1517 to persuade Pope Leo X to reform the Roman alphabet. Behind this concrete, if farfetched, proposal was a millenarian theology that Egidio revealed by introducing his Christian readers to Kabbalah, whose first Christian advocate, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, had done his pioneering work only a few decades before. Inspired by Pico and by Johann…

    Valla Our Contemporary:Philosophy and Philology Brian P. Copenhaver Even before the Italians knew what to call their Renaissance, they knew the names of its heroes, one of whom was Lorenzo Valla. Accordingly, by the time Count Terenzio Mamiani della Rovere published one of the first modern histories of Italian philosophy in 1834, Valla's place in the story of that subject had long been established-for Italians, at least. "He began by ridiculing b…

  • Scholastic Philosophy and Renaissance Magic in the De vita of Marsilio Ficino

    Open AccessBrian P CopenhaverARTICLERenaissance Quarterly1984Citada por: 4Referencias: 4

    Marsilio Ficino completed the third part of his De vita libri tres , titled De vita coelitus comparanda , in July of 1489; by the fall of that year he felt obliged to write an Apologia on behalf of his new book. Though it was destined to be the most popular of his original works, this analysis and defense of astrological magic and medicine caused Ficino worry from the moment of its composition. The Apology shows that he was particularly anxious a…
