The revival of antique philosophy in the Renaissance[electronic resource] /by John L. Lepage. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2012. - 1 online resource.

Introduction: Containers -- A Progress of Wise Fools -- Laughing and Weeping Melancholy: Democritus and Heraclitus as Emblems -- Divine Madness, Literary Fancy, and Dreams -- The Mind is its Own Place.

This book examines the revival of antique philosophy in the Renaissance as a literary preoccupation informed by wit. Humanists were more inspired by the fictionalized characters of certain wise fools, including Diogenes the Cynic, Socrates, Aesop, Democritus, and Heraclitus, than by codified systems of thought. Rich in detail, this study offers a systematic treatment of wide-ranging Renaissance imagery and metaphors and presents a detailed iconography of certain classical philosophers. Ultimately, the problems of Renaissance humanism are revealed to reflect the concerns of humanists in the twenty-first century.
