About This Item
Paperback. Acceptable. Several signs of previous ownership including name and writing on inside pages. Image of actual book. Front and back cover with fading, bumping, rubbing and stains. Crease on spine and back cover. Slight tanning, browning and soiling on outer page edges. This provocative volume, one of the most important interpretive works on the philosophical thought of the Renaissance, has long been regarded as a classic in its field. Ernst Cassirer here examines the changes brewing in the early stages of the Renaissance, tracing the interdependence of philosophy, language, art, and science; the newfound recognition of individual consciousness; and the great thinkers of the periodâfrom da Vinci and Galileo to Pico della Mirandola and Giordano Bruno. The Individual and the Cosmos in Renaissance Philosophy discusses the importance of fifteenth-century philosopher Nicholas Cusanus, the concepts of freedom and necessity, and the subject-object problem in Renaissance thought. Revised in 1966. T5.
