Shepheard-Walwyn (Publishers) Ltd The Letters of Marsilio Ficino 10
Book SynopsisThis series is the first English translation of the letters of the philosopher priest who helped to shape the Renaissance worldview. This volume spans the seventeen months from April 1491 to September 1492. This is a crucial period for Marsilio Ficino and Florence itself, for it witnessed the death of Lorenzo the Magnificent.Trade Review'Such giants as Ficino deserve a wider audience' Umberto Eco; "In the last two decades or so it has become very difficult to keep high scholarly standards in the humanities ... In such circumstances it is almost a miracle to find the recent tenth volume in this ambitious and important project of providing English translations to Marsilio Ficino's letters, containing book 11 of Ficino's letters ... All in all this volume is an example of the high scholarly standards essential to the humanities." Amos Edelheit, Renaissance Quarterly; "These letters are not only a joy to read, they are deeply nourishing. Like Plato's Dialogues, they make me stand up straight and listen. Ficino's letters are witty, subtle, full of intelligence and wisdom. His words are joyful and have a poetry and intimacy that I cannot resist. If you try reading them out loud, as I did, you discover that they have a rhythm and a haunting melody all of their own. Very soon, you will find yourself admiring the rich beauty of this man." Elizabeth Medler, Editor of New Vision (www.thehamblintrust.org.uk); 'Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499) was at the very fountainhead of some of the most characteristic and influential aspects of the Italian Renaissance.' C B Schmitt, Times Literary Supplement; 'All that we regard as the norm of Western European art - Botticelli's paintings, Monteverdi's music, Shakespeare's philosophical lovers, Berowne and Lorenzo, Jacques and Portia - has flowered from Ficino's Florence. Kathleen Raine, The Times; 'Undoubtedly these letters comprise one of the "spiritual classics" of the past thousand years.' - Christopher Booker, The SpectatorTable of ContentsAcknowledgements; Letter Titles; Introduction; Translators’ Note; The Letters; Appendix Letters; Notes to the Letters; Note on the Latin Text; The Latin Text; Biographical Notes; German correspondents; Correspondents in Italy; Names from Letter; Bibliography; Index

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Legacy of Aristotelian Enthymeme
Book SynopsisThe Legacy of Aristotelian Enthymeme provides a historical-logical analysis of Aristotle's rhetorical syllogism, the enthymeme, through its Medieval and Renaissance interpretations. Bringing together notions of credibility and proof, an international team of scholars highlight the fierce debates around this form of argumentation during two key periods for Aristotle's beliefs.Reflecting on medieval and humanist thinkers, philosophers, poets and theologians, this volume joins up dialectical and rhetorical argumentation as key to the enthymeme's interpretation and shows how the enthymeme was the source of a major interpretive conflict. As a method for achieving the standards for proof and credibility that persist across diverse fields of study today including the law, politics, medicine and morality, this book takes in Latin and Persian interpretations of the enthymeme and casts contemporary argumentation in a new historical light.Trade ReviewThis is a book on the history of the problem of how we demonstrate by means of enthymemes. It gives a consistent account of what has happened in the twelve centuries that separate Boethius from Ramus, and it contributes to our understanding of the connection between logic and rhetoric. It revives the tradition of Ciceronianism, of which Fosca Mariani Zini is a renowned authority. * Riccardo Pozzo, Professor of the History of Philosophy, Tor Vergata University of Rome, Italy *Table of ContentsList of Figures and Tables Notes on Contributors Introduction: The Theory of Enthymeme: Between Defective and Ampliative Inference, Fosca Mariani Zini (University of Tours, France) 1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC By Faith Alone
Book SynopsisLev Shestov's By Faith Alone confronts Eastern and Western European conceptions of faith through Russian literature, ancient and medieval philosophy, and Christian theology. Written from 1910-1914, this first English-language translation brings together important early writings on the medieval church and Martin Luther.Shestov reconciles the Greek notion of rational truth with Biblical revelation by drawing on a wide range of ancient, medieval, philosophical and theological sources from Plato to Hegel, Tertullian to Saint Augustine , and Saint Bernard of Clairvaux to William of Ockam. He argues that rational truth has skewed Christian belief by determining knowledge and truth in ways that prize the mind over the world. This approach marks a turning point in the evolution of Shestov's existential thought. It establishes a basic division that became central to Shestov's later work, between Athens as reason and Jerusalem as faith. By Faith Alone provides a crucial piece of tTrade ReviewThis important book by Lev Shestov (1866–1938) is now available in English translation.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Medieval Philosophy
Book SynopsisMedieval Philosophy: A Multicultural Reader comprises a comparative, multicultural reading of the four main traditions of the medieval period with extensive sections on Greek-Byzantine, Latin, Jewish, and Islamic traditions. The book also includes an initial 'Predecessors' section, presenting readings (with introductions) from figures of antiquity upon whom all four traditions have drawn. Representative readings from each of the four great traditions are presented chronologically in four different tracks, along with engaging and accessible introductions to the traditions themselves, as well as each individual thinkerâall selected and presented by noted scholars within each respective tradition. This groundbreaking collection:-Offers readings from early thinkers that contextualize the medieval traditions. -Presents, for the first time, extensive readings from the Byzantine Christian tradition that has wielded an important cultural influence from Russia and the Balkans to the MiddlTrade ReviewThat the title of this book clearly signals the multiculturalism and pluralism of medieval thought is to its credit. The book is organized in five sections: an opening section looks at Greco-Roman sources, and each of the remaining four sections treats a major linguistic or cultural grouping in medieval thought: Byzantine, Jewish, Latin, and Muslim. Each section offers translated selections of relevant major works of the tradition. This being the case, the volume could serve as a resource in survey courses … Summing Up: Recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates. * CHOICE *It's great to have alongside each other a large selection of the crucial texts of Western medieval philosophy, in its Christian (Greek and Latin), Jewish and Islamic branches. I know of no other anthology which would enable students to see the similarities and differences between the different ways in which ancient Greek philosophy developed in the Middle Ages, and the interactions between them. -- Richard Swinburne, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, University of Oxford, UKThis large and comprehensive volume of primary source material provides the reader not only with key medieval philosophical texts from the Latin Christian, Byzantine, Islamic, and Jewish traditions, but also with a judicious selection of foundational texts from the ancient Greek philosophical period, both pagan and patristic. There is no other source book that matches this one in breadth and depth. -- Daniel Frank, Professor of Philosophy, Purdue University, USAThis brave new anthology opens up new ways of studying and understanding medieval philosophy, both by fully including the Arabic, Jewish and Greek, as well as the Latin traditions, and through its admirably broad conception of what texts count as philosophical. * John Marenbon, Professor of Medieval Philosophy, University of Cambridge, UK; Fellow of the British Academy *Table of ContentsForeward (Bernard McGinn, Naomi Shenstone Donnelley Professor Emeritus of Historical Theology and of the History of Christianity, University of Chicago, USA) List of Contributors Introduction (Bruce Foltz, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, Eckerd College, USA) Part 1: Ancient Philosophy as a Spiritual Tradition: Predecessors of Medieval Philosophy (Editor: Eric Perl, Professor of Philosophy, Loyola Marymount University,USA) 1.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Art of Living, Art of Dying: Spiritual Care for a
Book SynopsisWithout an appropriate spiritual care model, it can be difficult to discuss existential questions about death and dying with people who are confronted with life-threatening or incurable diseases. This book offers a simple framework for interpreting existential questions with patients and helping them to cope in end-of-life situations, with illustrative examples from practice.Building on the medieval Ars moriendi tradition, the author introduces a contemporary art of dying model. It shows how to discuss existential questions in a post-Christian context, without moralising death or telling people how they should feel. Written in a straightforward manner, this is a helpful resource for chaplains and clergy, and those with no formal spiritual training, including counsellors, doctors, nurses, allied healthcare workers and other professionals who come into contact with patients in hospitals and hospices.Trade ReviewThis exceptional book is like the diamond of Leget's Ars moriendi model, shining light on an area of practice that has been in the shadows for too long. It is full of kind, gentle and wise considerations that will help to illuminate the many faces and meanings of death. -- Prof Rod MacLeod MNZM, Conjoint Professor in Palliative Care, University of SydneyDr. Leget skillfully integrates his well-honed clinical sense with his in-depth understanding of some of the great thinkers of history to craft an approach to dying - and living - which respects both the uniqueness of each person and the wisdom of the ages. Bravo! -- Rev. George Handzo, HealthCare Chaplaincy Network, USAThere are many books on the market today which address issues of death and dying in society. This new book by Carlo Leget is more than just another addition to that literature. Expertly grounded in an academic theological and philosophical discourse, Professor Leget guides the reader through a contemporary reading of the medieval Ars moriendi, blending the wisdom of the past with a real-world understanding of the present. As a palliative care academic and practitioner, the crafting of this book, using evidence from the clinical setting, offers a reflection for the clinician and student on the complex dimensions of living and dying that they face on a daily basis. The 'inner space' conceptual framework speaks to a yearning in our world today. This book helps to imagine how we might find it. -- Philip Larkin, Professor of Clinical Nursing (Palliative Care), University College Dublin and Our Lady’s Hospice and Care Services, Dublin, IrelandSpiritual and existential issues are highly prevalent in patients with serious and/or life-threatening illnesses. All members of the care team need to be able to address these issues in a way that is compassionate but also clinically relevant. Leget's Art of Living, Art of Dying offers a simple framework for interpreting spiritual and existential questions with patients and helping them to cope with their suffering. Building on the medieval Ars moriendi tradition, the author introduces a contemporary art of dying model, which demonstrates through case-based examples how members of the care team can discuss existential and spiritual questions in a respectful and non-judgemental way and in the context of a patient's health and wellbeing. I recommend this book not only for chaplains and clergy, but also for others on the healthcare team, including counsellors, doctors, nurses, allied healthcare workers and other professionals who come into contact with patients in hospitals and hospices. -- Christina Puchalski, MD, FACP, FAAHPM, Professor of Medicine, Director of the George Washington Institute for Spirituality and Health, George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, USATable of ContentsPreface. 1.

Imprint Academic Scottish Philosophy in America
Book SynopsisThe Scottish Enlightenment provided the fledgling United States of America and its emerging universities with a philosophical orientation. For a hundred years or more, Scottish philosophers were both taught and emulated by professors at Princeton, Harvard and Yale, as well as newly founded colleges stretching from Rhode Island to Texas. This volume in the Library of Scottish Philosophy demonstrates the remarkable extent of this philosophical influence. Selections from William Smith, John Witherspoon, Samuel Stanhope Smith, Archibald Alexander, Alexander Campbell, W.E. Channing, James McCosh, and C.S. Peirce, together with the editor''s introductory and explanatory material, provide the modern reader with unprecedented access to this period of intellectual formation.

Imprint Academic Scottish Philosophy of Rhetoric
Book SynopsisThe popular and successful rhetorical textbooks produced by the 18th century Scottish philosophical tradition, such as George Campbell''s The Philosophy of Rhetoric (1776), Hugh Blair's Lectures on Rhetoric and Belles Lettres (1783), and Alexander Bain's English Composition and Rhetoric (1877) have been widely accorded a role in the trajectories of 19th and 20th century literary theory. Scholars have generally overlooked them, however, as philosophical works. The selected writings chosen for this volume show how these rhetorical textbooks were a practical extension of the philosophy of language developed by 18th century Scottish philosophers. Francis Hutcheson, Adam Smith, Thomas Reid, Adam Ferguson, Alexander Gerard, and Henry Home, Lord Kames, advanced a radically new paradigm of language as an inherently mediated practice, directed simultaneously to personal and social, moral and aesthetic uses. This Scottish philosophy of rhetoric powerfully influenced the teaching of language and literacy as tools for social and educational innovation. This volume the first of its kind offers a wide variety of writings on rhetoric and rhetorical theory, selected in a way that reveals their intimate connection with the Scottish philosophical tradition.

Oneworld Publications Medieval Philosophy: A Beginner's Guide
Book SynopsisWhy do good things happen to bad people? Can we prove whether God exists? What is the difference between right and wrong? Medieval Philosophers were centrally concerned with such questions: questions which are as relevant today as a thousand years ago when the likes of Anselm and Aquinas sought to resolve them. In this fast-paced, enlightening guide, Sharon M. Kaye takes us on a whistle-stop tour of medieval philosophy, revealing the debt it owes to Aristotle and Plato, and showing how medieval thought is still inspiring philosophers and thinkers today. With new translations of numerous key extracts, Kaye directly introduces the reader to the philosophers’ writings and the criticisms levied against them. Including helpful textboxes throughout the book detailing key thinkers, this is an entertaining and comprehensive primer for students and general readers alike.Trade ReviewWilliam Irwin, Professor of Philosophy, King's College Pennsylvania and Editor of The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series - "Beautifully written and wonderfully accessible. Discussing all the major thinkers and topics of the period, Kaye's volume does exactly what it should."Martin Tweedale, Professor Emeritus of Medieval Philosophy, University of Alberta - "Simultaneously entices students into and prepares them for the riches of the abundant literature that lies ready for their exploration."

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Metaphor and Imagination in Medieval Jewish
Book SynopsisThis book reveals how Moses ibn Ezra, Judah Halevi, Moses Maimonides, and Shem Tov ibn Falaquera understood metaphor and imagination, and their role in the way human beings describe God. It demonstrates how these medieval Jewish thinkers engaged with Arabic-Aristotelian psychology, specifically with regard to imagination and its role in cognition. Dianna Lynn Roberts-Zauderer reconstructs the process by which metaphoric language is taken up by the imagination and the role of imagination in rational thought. If imagination is a necessary component of thinking, how is Maimonides’ idea of pure intellectual thought possible? An examination of select passages in the Guide, in both Judeo-Arabic and translation, shows how Maimonides’ attitude towards imagination develops, and how translations contribute to a bifurcation of reason and imagination that does not acknowledge the nuances of the original text. Finally, the author shows how Falaquera’s poetics forges a new direction for thinking about imagination. Table of Contents1. Introduction- 2. Chapter 1 “Human Language”: Classifying Metaphor in Jewish Sources- 3. Chapter 2 “Taste and See”: Imagination and Intellect- 4. Chapter 3 Transmission- 5. Chapter 4 “No Share in Poetry”- 6.

Brill Willing and Understanding: Late Medieval Debates
Book SynopsisWilling and Understanding elucidates a variety of issues in and approaches to debating the will-intellect interplay in the late Middle Ages. Authored by prominent scholars in the field, the contributions offer different perspectives on the development of late medieval theories of the will. Charting a dense map of voluntarist and epistemological ideas—entrenched leitmotifs of late medieval philosophy, seminal insights sparking original trends, and ephemeral novelties—the volume is a testimony to the conceptual multidimensionality and ethical complexity of the past and present iterations of the debate on the will. Contributors are Pascale Bermon, Magdalena Bieniak, Michael W. Dunne, Riccardo Fedriga, Giacomo Fornasieri, Tobias Hoffmann, Severin V.

Oxford University Press Henry of Harclay
Book SynopsisThis is the first complete edition of the later work of the medieval philosopher and theologian Henry of Harclay. In colloboration with Raymond Edwards, an English translation is printed on facing pages, making this work available to a much wider audience. The twenty-nine Quaestiones Ordinariae cover a range of topics in metaphysics, theology, physical science, philosophical anthropology and ethics, which were among the most important of those debated in the early fourteenth century. The articles provide a window to this era, as Harclay discusses many of the main questions of his day: whether and why we choose what is evil, how God can know the future and we can still be free, what a virtue is, whether the human soul survives death, whether all things are made up of atoms. This edition enables us to evaluate Harclay, not only in relation to other notable thinkers of his time (such as John Duns Scotus and William of Ockham) but to appreciate the inner coherence of his own thought. An exTrade Reviewimpeccably edited by Mark Henninger and elegantly translated by Raymond Edwards and the editor, reveal for the first time to a wide readership the preoccupations of a brilliant group of thinkers.

The editor and translator are to be congratulated on an achievement of more moment than they perhaps originally expected. * Jeremy Catto, The English Historical Review *Mark G.
