Item description from seller

XII, 315 p. Lediglich der Buchrücken ist lichtbedingt leicht verfärbt, schwarzer Markerstrich auf Kopfschnitt, sonst ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar ohne Anstreichungen / Only the spine is slightly discolored due to light, black marker line on top edge, otherwise a good and clean copy without markings. - The RENAISSANCE, known primarily for the art and literature that it produced, was also a period in which philosophical thought flourished. This two-volume anthology contains forty new translations of important works on moral and political philosophy written during the Renaissance and hitherto unavailable in English. The anthology is designed to be used in conjunction with The Cambridge History of Renaissance Philosophy, in which all of these texts are discussed. The works, originally written in Latin, Italian, French, Spanish, and Greek, cover such topics as: concepts of man; Aristotelian, Platonic, Stoic, and Epicurean ethics; scholastic political philosophy; theories of princely and republican government in Italy; and northern European political thought. Each text is supplied with an introduction and a guide to further reading. These readable and fully annotated versions of a wide range of texts will enable serious students of the history of philosophy to gain first-hand access to the ethical and political thought of the Renaissance. / Contents List of Translators Preface Part I.
