Excerpt from Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola Ausgewählte Schriften
Die der Einleitung sowie jeder Schrift angehängten An merkungen erheben nicht den Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit. Gehört doch bei dem Charakter der Quellen eine er schöpfende Kommentierung zu den Unmöglichkeiten. Oft ist eine Verifizierung schon deshalb ausgeschlossen, weil die Humanisten nicht selten aus dem Gedächtnis zitieren, wodurch sich falsche Angaben eingeschlichen haben. Auch Pico ist von dieser Gewohnheit nicht völlig frei, wenngleich ihm eine kostbare und äußerst umfangreiche Bibliothek zur Verfügung stand.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and philosophies of Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, a renowned Italian humanist and mystic of the late 15th century. It explores his pivotal role in the transition from medieval to modern thought, bridging the gap between ancient authorities and contemporary critical inquiry. Pico's writings epitomized the intellectual ferment of the Renaissance, blending classical ideas with Christian theology. He sought to reconcile Plato and Aristotle, integrating their teachings with those of Averroes, Avicenna, and other Islamic philosophers. This syncretic approach challenged traditional church doctrine and sparked a controversy that ultimately led to Pico's excommunication. Despite his conflicts with the Church, Pico's influence on Western thought was profound. His belief in the inherent dignity of humankind and the importance of individual inquiry laid the groundwork for the Enlightenment and the development of modern science. This book offers a comprehensive examination of Pico's life, ideas, and their enduring impact, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of philosophy, humanism, and the birth of modern intellectual thought.
