Spätrenaissance-Philosophie in Deutschland 1570-1650: Entwürfe Zwischen Humanismus Und Konfessionalisierung, Okkulten Traditionen Und Schulmetaphysik [Hardback]

This volume introduces the concept of late Renaissance philosophy to cover those intellectual currents in pre-mid 17th century Germany that saw themselves as inheritors of the (Italian) Renaissance but at the same time amalgamated their speculations with established Lutheran or Reformed metaphysics. Thirteen case studies by renowned scholars describe the full scope of this process with regard to metaphysics and anthropology, esthetics and ethics, philology and religious philosophy.
