Paperback. The German cardinal Nicholas of Cusa is mostly known today for his elaborate philosophical work. As one of the first proponents of Renaissance humanism, he was a key figure of the fifteenth century. In contrast to the traditional medieval Aristotelian cosmology he developed the concept of an Universum Infinitumoe (infinite universe). This leads to the innovative question of which epistemological or historical connections can be discerned to connect his writings to the contemporary beginnings of global explorations that culminated in the discovery of the New World(s). This question was discussed in 2016 during an international workshop at the National Library of Portugal. The interdisciplinary meeting, the results of which are published here, was organized by Thomas Horst (Faculty of Science, University of Lisbon) in close cooperation with Harald Schwaetzer and Matthias Vollet (Kueser Akademie fuer Europaeische Geistesgeschichte, Bernkastel-Kues). The Editors Thomas Horst works as a postdoc at the Faculdade de Ciencias da Universidade de Lisboa, where he studies cosmographical knowledge and transcultural relations (in particular German-Portuguese networks) in the early modern period._ Harald Schwaetzer, Inhaber der Dozentur fuer Cusanus-Forschung am Institut fuer Cusanus-Forschung an der Universitaet und der Theologischen Fakultaet Trier (2002-2008), Professor fuer Philosophie an der Alanus Hochschule (2009-2014), der Cusanus Hochschule (2015-2019) und der Hochschule Biberach (2020-2022), ist gegenwaertig Mitglied der Leitung des Philosophischen Seminar, Stuttgart, und hat die akademische Leitung der Kueser Akademie fuer Europaeische Geistesgeschichte inne. Matthias Vollet works as Geschaeftsfuehrer at the Kueser Akademie fuer Europaeische Geistesgeschichte and teaches Philosophy at the Philosophisches Seminar of the Johannes Gutenberg-Universitaet Mainz. His main interests are the thinking of Nicholas of Cusa and of Henri Bergson. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
