The Age of Epistemology: Aristotelian Logic in Early Modern Philosophy 1500-1700
Marco Sgarbi tells a new history of epistemology from the Renaissance to Newton through the impact of Aristotelian scientific doctrines on key figures including Galileo Galilei, Thomas Hobbes, René Descartes, John Locke, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and Isaac Newton
Gnostologia: The Discipline of the Objects of Knowledge in Seventeenth-Century Germany
In the seventeenth century, with the sunset of the Renaissance and the rise of early modern thought, new philosophical disciplines emerged from the ashes of the Aristotelian tradition, which had dominated the previous three centuries. Some of these, like ontology, still exist today; others had a short life. An innovative philosophical agenda was imposed: the old system of knowledge was rehashed, and a new encyclopedia of sciences was established.…
A Political Philosophy of Conservatism: Prudence, Moderation and Tradition
Bringing prudence back into the centre of political philosophical discussion, this book assesses how far the Aristotelian notion can be of use in thinking about politics today. Antique, medieval and early modern discussions on practical wisdom are reconstructed and re-contextualised to show not only how our understanding of the virtue of 'prudence' has changed over time, but why it should be revived

What was meant by vulgarizing in the Italian Renaissance
What did it mean to “vulgarize” in Renaissance Italy? Was it simply a \nmatter of translating into the vernacular, or did it mean making a \ntext more accessible to the people – to in some sense popularize \nit? The answer is far from simple and certainly never one-sided; \ntherefore, each individual case needs to be independently \nassessed on its own merits. This article seeks to shed some light \nat least on the major treatments of the theory …
Aristotle and the People: Vernacular Philosophy in Renaissance Italy
The essay focuses on vernacular Aristotelianism in Renaissance Italy, which began to gain currency in the 1540s, just as the vernacular was beginning to establish itself as a language of culture and the Counter-Reformation was getting underway. With over three hundred printed and manuscript works, the statistics of this phenomenon are impressive. Even so, the vulgarization of Aristotle in the Italian Renaissance has never received the scholarly a…
Kant and Aristotle: Epistemology, Logic, and Method
"Kant and Aristotle" reassesses the prevailing understanding of Kant as an anti-Aristotelian philosopher. Taking epistemology, logic, and methodology to be the key disciplines through which Kant s transcendental philosophy stood as an independent form of philosophy, Marco Sgarbi shows that Kant drew important elements of his logic and metaphysical doctrines from Aristotelian ideas that were absent in other philosophical traditions, such as the di…
Benedetto Varchi on the Soul: Vernacular Aristotelianism between Reason and Faith
In this paper, I wish to present the first full-fledged investigation of Benedetto Varchi's manuscript writings on psychology, which show the depth of his familiarity with philosophy and his originality as a thinker. In particular, I wish to show that Varchi was not an Averroist. Rather in the manuscript Varchi rejects Averroistic doctrines and seeks to reconcile Aristotelian psychology with the truth of religion. In so doing, Varchi appropriates…
The Italian Mind: Vernacular Logic in Renaissance Italy (1540-1551)
Italian Mind: Vernacular Logic in Renaissance Italy
"From the twelfth to the seventeenth century, Aristotle's writings lay at the foundation of Western culture, providing a body of knowledge and a set of analytical tools applicable to all areas of human investigation. Scholars of the Renaissance have emphasized the remarkable longevity and versatility of Aristotelianism, but they have mainly focused on the Latin tradition. Scarce, if any, attention has gone to vernacular works. Nonetheless, severa…

Aristotele e il problema della soggettività
Gli storici della filosofia solitamente attribuiscono ai pensatori moderni l'invenzioni di concetto "soggetto", "oggetto" e "soggettività" e li concepiscono in direttamente in contrasto con la filosofia scolastica e aristotelica. Questo articolo suggerisce la presenza di una proto-teoria della soggettività in Aristotele. La teoria aristotelica della soggettività è fondata principalmente su quattro dottrine. In primo luogo, si può riscontrare nell…
Metaphysics in Königsberg prior to Kant (1703-1770)
The present contribute aims to reconstruct, using the methodology of intellectual history, the broad spectrum of metaphysical doctrines that Kant could know during the years of the formation of his philosophy. The first part deals with the teaching of metaphysics in Königsberg from 1703 to 1770. The second part examines the main characteristics of the metaphysics in the various handbooks, which were taught at the Albertina, in order to have an ex…
