Philosophy in the Renaissance: An Anthology
Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa Von Nettesheim (1486–1535): The Vanity of Arts and Sciences
All of Agrippa’s works are to be considered as clearly defined events in a broader and serious philosophical, religious and moral meditation on the social significance of learning in his own time. Agrippa’s anthropological and gnoseological optimism, which testifies his confidence in human nature and in its potential to accomplish its own destiny, contrasts with his deeply pessimistic opinion about the contemporary culture: in his view, an unrele…
American slave narratives as autoethnographic paradigm
Ever since the publication of the Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass in 1845, autobiographical testimonies were a mainstay of the abolition movement in the United States. Being or having been held as slaves and all the attendant injury is the very theme of the documents in question, which are testimonies, rather than theoretical works, because the authors maintained the first-person point of view. Since autoethnography aims at overcoming…
Epidemic and the Individual: Renaissance Understandings of the Plague in View of Modern Experiences
Epidemia a jednostka: renesansowe rozumienie plag z perspektywy nowoczesnych doświadczeń Epidemie są wyzwaniem dla indywidualizmu. Chociaż myślimy o chorobach w kategoriach osobistego cierpienia i wyborów, plagi od dawna dotykają wspólnot i społeczności. Epidemie zwracają perspektywę na zbiorowość, transcendencję i to, co zewnętrzne, a strach, terapia i opieka stają się bardziej uniwersalne niż indywidualne. Oto wnioski, które możemy wyciągnąć z …
History and theory: The paradox in Francesco Patrizi
Patrizi's Ten Dialogues on History bring the Renaissance humanist discourse on the meaning of history to a new level. First, he emphasizes narrativity as the fundamental structure of history. Then he asks for the essence of history, which hinges on the creativity of the narrator, who organizes the facts to be told. With a focus on the Third Dialogue, we see that, for Patrizi, history is elapsing time preserved beyond time and human knowledge enac…

How to think with the head of another? The historical dimension of philosophical problems
In his autobiography, R.G. Collingwood describes thinking as a relation between question and answer. Embarking from the example of a particularly ugly statue, he formulates the conjecture that this

Studies on Early Modern Aristotelianism
In 'Studies on Early Modern Aristotelianism' Paul Richard Blum shows that Aristotle's thought remained the touchstone of modern philosophy; for it was the philosophy taught at universities. The concept of philosophy at Jesuit schools forms the first part of this book. Their impact on the sciences and mathematics in combination with Renaissance ideas of nature is the topic of the second part. The transformation of Aristotelian metaphysics and theo…

Rhetoric is the Home of the Transcendent: Ernesto Grassi's Response to Heidegger's Attack on Humanism
We are still far from pondering the essence of action decidedly enough. We view action only as effecting an effect. Its effectiveness and reality is assessed according to its utility. Yet, the esse
‘Et Nuper Plethon’—Ficino’s Praise Of Georgios Gemistos Plethon And His Rational Religion
Plethon's religious orthodoxy is suggested by the fact that the sentence quoted was copied by Ficino into the Plotinus preface from his letter to Johannes Pannonius (de Varadino) of 1484/85. Plethon qualifies as an Aristotelian for having commented upon Aristotle, Averroes and Alexander on matters of philosophical theology in his famous treatise De differentiis Platonis et Aristotelis (On the differences between Aristotle and Plato) . The absence…

Bildung und Unbildung im 16. Jahrhundert Ein Gastseminar in Wolfenbüttel
Erfahrung, Weltbild und Erkenntnis bei Nikolaus Cusanus
To explain the interaction of stillness and motion of thought, Nicholas Cusanus formulated his renowned comparison with a cosmographer, which through five gateways, corresponding to the five senses, receives information about the world in the form of messages. What follows therefrom is not directly an analysis of the world but of the Creator, whom the philosopher mirrors in himself as a creator of scientific symbols. Cusanus was repeatedly suspec…

Jesuiten zwischen Religion und Wissenschaft
Natural sciences and natural philosophy of the Jesuits are based on theology. At least the concept of God is an integral part of their theoretical structure. Examples are taken from Rudjer Boskovic, Honoré Fabri and Nicolaus Cabeus. In fact, the Jesuits, e.g. Theophil Raynaud, dealt with natural theology as the spiritual foundation of knowledge independent of revelation. But natural theology, as in Raimundus Sabundus, has an anthropocentric and h…

The Catholic Church in Hungary: A Case of Remodernisation
The title of my paper contains a question mark against the word remodernisation. The word implies that the Catholic Church in Hungary is moving towards a more modern status, and that in so doing it is reviving a former status which was modem in some way. But in an age of postmodernism this concept is a question mark in itself. If we may take the ecclesiology of the Second Vatican Council as modernity within the Church, the aggiomamento it represe…
