Description
The Other Renaissance: Italian Humanism Between Hegel & Heidegger by Rocco Rubini is an illuminating study that reexamines the significance of Italian humanism within the broader history of European thought. Rubini explores how Italian intellectual traditions, often overshadowed by the more commonly referenced Northern European Renaissance, played a crucial role in shaping modern philosophy. By tracing the reception and reinterpretation of Italian humanist ideas through the lenses of philosophers like Hegel and Heidegger, Rubini reveals a dynamic dialogue between Renaissance humanism and German idealism, phenomenology, and existentialism. The book argues that Italian humanism’s emphasis on ethics, civic responsibility, and the dignity of the individual continues to offer vital insights into contemporary philosophical debates. The Other Renaissance highlights the enduring legacy of figures like Vico, Machiavelli, and Pico della Mirandola, presenting them as pivotal thinkers whose ideas resonate deeply within modern philosophical discourse.
