  9. Machiavelli.Maurizio Viroli - 1998 - New York: Oxford University Press.

His detailed study of how Machiavelli composed The Prince offers a number of new interpretations and he further (...)
  10. The Cambridge Companion to Aquinas.Norman Kretzmann & Eleonore Stump (eds.) - 1993 - New York, NY, USA: Cambridge University Press.
    Among the great philosophers of the Middle Ages Aquinas is unique in pursuing two apparently disparate projects. On the one hand he developed a philosophical understanding of Christian doctrine in a fully integrated system encompassing all natural and supernatural reality. On the other hand, he was convinced that Aristotle's philosophy afforded the best available philosophical component of such a system. In a relatively brief career Aquinas developed these projects in great detail and with an astonishing degree of success. In this (...)

  13. Thomas Aquinas Theologian.Thomas F. O'Meara - 1997

The centre piece of this volume is a tour through the themes of Christianity, as presented in the Summa, themes which range from Triune divine being, to the graced person as the image of God, and a (...)

  15. Modernity and its Discontents: Making and Unmaking the Bourgeois From Machiavelli to Bellow.Steven B. Smith - 2016 - Yale University Press.

He explores modernism as a source of both pride and anxiety, suggesting that its most distinctive characteristics are the self-criticisms and doubts that accompany social and political progress. Providing profiles of the modern project’s most powerful defenders and critics—from Machiavelli and Spinoza to Saul Bellow and Isaiah Berlin—this provocative work of philosophy and political science offers a novel perspective (...)

Bernard offers one of the most profound versions of a familiar theme in medieval literature, that of man as a microcosm of the universe, with nature as the mediating element between God and the world. Brian (...)

    This is the first work to combine an introduction to Augustine's _Confessions_ with a larger outline of his mature theology.

  42. History as a Visual Art in the Twelfth-Century Renaissance.Karl F. Morrison - 1990 - Princeton University Press.
    Karl Morrison discusses historical writing at a turning point in European culture: the so-called Renaissance of the twelfth century. Why do texts considered at that time to be masterpieces seem now to be fragmentary and full of contradictions? Morrison maintains that the answer comes from ideas about art. Viewing histories as artifacts made according to the same aesthetic principles as paintings and theater, he shows that twelfth-century authors and audiences found unity not in what the reason read in a text (...)
