Reviews
'An engrossing story about how modernity was born when it learned to read and write the word. The parallels between the Italian Renaissance and our contemporary present are stunning. As before, so now: information glut and a rapidly evolving mediascape are challenges that only a new investment in critical sense-making - 'philology,' broadly understood - can meet. Celenza's call for a reinvigorated culture of the humanities today is both historically rich and prescient. His book is sure to bring a new dimension to the debates about the uses and reach of culture today.' James I. Porter, University of California, Berkeley

Synopsis
This book is of interest to all those who value and seek to understand the humanities. Beginning in the Italian Renaissance and ending in the European Enlightenment, this book touches on how people in the past changed their reading habits, and how technology changed their perception of truth., Christopher Celenza is one of the foremost contemporary scholars of the Renaissance. His ambitious new book focuses on the body of knowledge which we now call the humanities, charting its roots in the Italian Renaissance and exploring its development up to the Enlightenment. Beginning in the fifteenth century, the author shows how thinkers like Lorenzo Valla and Angelo Poliziano developed innovative ways to read texts closely, paying attention to historical context, developing methods to determine a text's authenticity, and taking the humanities seriously as a means of bettering human life. Alongside such novel reading practices, technology - the invention of printing with moveable type - fundamentally changed perceptions of truth. Celenza also reveals how luminaries like Descartes, Diderot, and D'Alembert - as well as many lesser-known scholars - challenged traditional ways of thinking. Celenza's authoritative narrative demonstrates above all how the work of the early modern humanist philosophers had a profound impact on the general quest for human wisdom. His magisterial volume will be essential reading for all those who value the humanities and their fascinating history.

- m***l (1326)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThis was a great transaction! Great seller, great communication, great packaging. It is a great set of high quality DVDs and arrived in perfect condition. They looked even better than described. The price was great too, as they considered and accepted my offer. The shipping was super fast, even for an object like a box of DVDs, which requires additional time and effort to package it right and ship it securely. I could not be happier.
- 5***a (0)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufEverything came as promised and the books are in good condition. There was some issues with the tracking number, but they were good about communicating with me on it when I reached out. The second package showed up on my door step unexpectedly after 5PM that day. I would buy from this seller again.
