Period

Learning outcomes
History of Philosophy in the Renaissance
The course aims to provide students with a knowledge of the main philosophical, political and artistic texts of the Renaissance (15th-16th century), seen in the wider context of Western philosophical tradition. At the end of the course, students shall be able to demonstrate their ability to contextualize from both a historical and critical viewpoint the authors and the topics discussed during the course. They will also develop their capacity to communicate philosophical contents to specialists and non-specialists alike, and their capacity to continue their studies at a MA level.
Program
The general topic of the course is: The influence of Plato and the development of the mystic love in the Renaissance.
1) Introductory discussione: historiographic incomprehension of the Platonic influence and its different stages; interpretive failures on the religious aspects of the Renaissance.
2) Influence of Plato and Platonism on Judaism and Christianity: the mystic love (Canticle of canticles; Origen; Gregory of Nyssa).
3) The Courtly Love (Amor Cortese) in the Middle Ages: Dolce Stil Novo; Dante; Boccaccio; Petrarca.
4) The rediscovery of Plato in the West and Marsilio Ficino.
5) In search of new meanings of the mystic love: the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili (1499) and the climate in Venice and Italy.
6) A new model of mystic love as spirituale and sociale mediation: Gli Asolani by Pietro Bembo (1505).
7) The formulation of a new European paradigm: Il Cortegiano by Baldassare Castiglione (1528).
