Description
Renaissance Philosophy: An Introduction provides an accessible account of the major thinkers, developments and trends in the history of philosophy during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Jill Kraye traces the development of distinctive approaches to philosophy throughout the Renaissance period. The chronological framework allows students to appreciate how these features of Renaissance philosophy developed over time, while the thematically structured chapters clarify the most important and influential trends. Kraye situates the key philosophical developments in a broader historical, cultural, religious and geographical context, crucial to a thorough understanding of the philosophical ideas and arguments that emerged in this vibrant period. Wide-ranging in its scope and based on primary sources, with all quotations and titles translated into English for ease of reference, the book tells a coherent and unified story, from the first glimmers of a distinctively Renaissance approach to philosophy in the mid-fourteenth century to its later impact on thinkers of the seventeenth century. This is the ideal introduction for students encountering this crucial period in the history of philosophy for the first time.
