About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"The volume has … papers very much worth reading. Dermot Moran on Nicholas of Cusa introduces renaissance Platonism; Laurent Jaffro on Shaftesbury’s melancholic defense of the Ancients against the Moderns and Leslie Armour on Cudworth’s conception of divine love and toleration offer genuinely accessible and stimulating papers." (Eric Schliesser, Notre Dome Philosophical Reviews, October, 2008)
