| Abstract | "I should like to explain that the original book reproduced the Martin Classical Lectures which I had been invited to deliver at Oberlin College in 1954. The fact that these lectures were delivered under the auspices of a Department of Classics, and published in a series devoted to classical studies, accounts for the special and limited point of view from which Renaissance thought is discussed in this book. I considered it as my main task to show the impact and influence of classical studies and of ancient sources upon the philosophical and general thought of the Renaissance period. I did not mean to deny, even by implication, that Renaissance thought was also indebted to medieval influences, or that it formulated many original ideas of its own. These aspects, though as important as, or even more important than, the one I treat, merely did not fall within the scope of my presentation. These limitations will be removed, at least to some extent, in this new edition since it will add two other papers or chapters not contained in the original edition."--Author's preface. |
