The Concept of Ingratitude in Renaissance English Moral Philosophy is a scholarly work by E. Catherine Dunn that examines the concept of ingratitude in the context of Renaissance English moral philosophy. The book explores the origins and development of the concept of ingratitude in ancient Greek and Roman philosophy, as well as its evolution in medieval and Renaissance thought.Dunn argues that ingratitude was a central concern of Renaissance English moral philosophers, who saw it as a serious moral failing that could lead to a breakdown in social and political order. The book examines the works of prominent Renaissance English moral philosophers such as Thomas Elyot, Thomas More, and Francis Bacon, and shows how they grappled with the problem of ingratitude in their writings.The book also explores the cultural and historical context in which Renaissance English moral philosophy developed, including the rise of humanism, the Reformation, and the political upheavals of the sixteenth century. Dunn argues that the concept of ingratitude was a key part of the broader cultural and intellectual debates of the period, and that understanding its place in Renaissance English moral philosophy can shed light on the broader intellectual and cultural history of the era.Overall, The Concept of Ingratitude in Renaissance English Moral Philosophy is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Renaissance English literature, philosophy, and intellectual history, as well as anyone interested in the history of moral thought and the evolution of moral concepts in Western culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
