Harmony and Contrast

Plato and Aristotle were very much alive between the fifteenth and the seventeenth centuries. The essays in this volume investigate the interaction, both in terms of harmony and contrast, between the two philosophers in early modernity, that is in a time when long-forgotten texts became available and a new philological awareness was on the rise. Dealing with famous and less famous early modern interpreters and philosophers, in a transnational and translinguistic perspective, this volume reveals the agendas behind the discussions on Plato's and Aristotle's philosophies. In studying these texts, it is hard to imagine a more significant collision of big names with big ideas. This project takes us to the centre of the intellectual life of the period and its most exciting debates.

Plotinus (204/5–270 C.E.) is a central figure in the history of Western philosophy. However, during the Middle Ages he was almost unknown. None of the treatises constituting his Enneads were translated, and ancient translations were lost. Although scholars had indirect access to his philosophy through the works of Proclus, St. Augustine, and Macrobius, among others, it was not until 1492 with the publication of the first Latin translation of the Enneads by the humanist philosopher Marsilio Ficino (1433–1499) that Plotinus was reborn to the Western world.Ficino’s translation was accompanied by a long commentary in which he examined the close relationship between metaphysics and anthropology that informed Plotinus’s philosophy. Focusing on Ficino’s interpretation of Plotinus’s view of the soul and of human nature, this book excavates a fundamental chapter in the history of Platonic scholarship, one which was to inform later readings of the Enneads up until the nineteenth century. It will appeal to scholars and students interested in the history of Western philosophy, intellectual history, and book history.

This volume provides the first assessment of the powerful, yet largely understudied, influence of late ancient philosophy, mathematics, and medicine in early modern Europe (1450-1650).The 15th and 16th centuries are rightfully regarded as the period in which classical texts were rediscovered, interrogated, edited, and translated for the contemporary Latin world through the philological and exegetical work of the humanists. However, this new and intensive dialogue with the ancient past was far more complex than scholars have so far imagined. This book breaks new ground in its exploration of the connection between late antiquity and the Renaissance, both materially and intellectually: it provides precise accounts of the transmission of texts and examines how antiquity was reframed through the Renaissance tradition. This book shows how thinkers, such as 15th century theologian Marsilio Ficino, provided a vital link between Platonic philosophy and commonplace theology.Assuming a transnational perspective, ten contributions discuss the complex ways in which late ancient commentators on Plato and Aristotle, Euclid and Hippocrates, informed the early modern reception history of the texts they commented on. The authors discussed here include renowned authors such as Proclus and John Philoponus and less-known – yet no less important – names such as Damascius and Paul of Aegina. The focus is on long-debated topics such as the immortality of the soul, the knowledge of universals, the structure of the cosmos, the relationship between health and disease, and the use of authority in both philosophical inquiry and medical theory.
