The Renaissance Idea of Wisdom by Eugene Franklin Rice Jr. is a scholarly examination of the concept of wisdom during the Renaissance period in Europe. The author explores the various ways in which wisdom was understood and valued during this time, drawing on a wide range of sources including literature, philosophy, and art. Rice argues that the Renaissance saw a shift in the understanding of wisdom, moving away from the traditional Christian view of wisdom as a gift from God towards a more humanistic understanding of wisdom as a product of education, experience, and reason. The book also explores the role of women in the Renaissance idea of wisdom, as well as the influence of classical Greek and Roman thought on Renaissance ideas about wisdom. Overall, The Renaissance Idea of Wisdom provides a fascinating and detailed insight into a key aspect of Renaissance thought and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
