Critics Review
This welcome volume cohesively brings together some of the major thinkers of the history of Italian philosophy, from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance to the contemporary period. Readings are introduced by brief informative essays written by specialists that act as useful philosophical mind-maps for readers. The excerpts from primary writings capture central positions and ideas that have come to shape and influence readers and thinkers from around the world. The book helps provide an important survey of the rich and varied schools that have come to form Italian philosophy. * Antonio Calcagno, Professor and Chair of Philosophy, King’s University College at Western University, Canada *
