Produktbeschreibung

Lorenzo Valla vs. Scholastic Thomism: A Clash of Textual Criticism and Philosophical Traditions by Benjamin Shaw offers a compelling exploration of one of the pivotal intellectual confrontations of the Renaissance. This scholarly work delves into Lorenzo Valla's groundbreaking critique of medieval scholasticism, focusing on his use of philology and rhetoric to challenge the dominant Aristotelian and Thomistic frameworks that shaped Western philosophy and theology for centuries. Through meticulous textual analysis, Valla exposed errors in key texts, including the famous Donation of Constantine, and questioned the philosophical and theological assumptions underpinning scholastic Thomism. Shaw's study illuminates Valla's methods, the resistance he faced, and the profound legacy his humanist critique left in reshaping intellectual history. This book is essential for readers interested in Renaissance humanism, the history of philosophy, and the evolution of theological thought, revealing how language, style, and critical inquiry can redefine tradition and authority.
