But we have to make room for everything. At Literary Salon, I’ll soon begin a series on self-publishing wide, and at ThaddeusThomas.com, I just published a collection for those who missed the first three chapters of my new serial, Kraken in a Coffee Cup. Chapter four comes out tomorrow.
Which brings us back to the recently renamed and restyled, Sibyliad: Deeper Stories, which is inching its way up to 100 subscribers. In the following weeks, we’ll explore:
The History of Philosophy in Renaissance Florence.
Humanism emphasized the study of classical texts, the value of the individual, and the potential for human achievement. We’ll learn how Leonardo Bruni and Poggio Bracciolini played crucial roles in rediscovering and translating ancient Greek and Roman texts.
We’ve previously introduced Marsilio Ficinio who was at the heart of the revival of Platonism in Florence.
Aristotelianism continued its influence, even in the face of a rising interest in Platonism, and we’ll see how Pietro Pomponazzi reinterpreted Aristotle under a humanist perspective.
We’ll discuss Giovanni Pico della Mirandola and his “Oration on the Dignity of Man,” a manifest of Renaissance humanism.
And we’ll finish with Niccolo Machiavelli’s famous (or infamous) work, The Prince.
There’s much to look forward to in the coming weeks, here at Sibyliad. Make sure to join us.
For now, be sure to check out the books on offer at Bookmotion and consider joining us at these low early-adopter prices.
