Descripción
Sumario:"This book investigates the use and abuse of Aristotle's authority in the early modern period, from both a transnational and an interdisciplinary perspective. Indeed, for as long as he maintained an institutional presence in universities and academies, Aristotle was invoked in writings and treatises that made use of his authority, sometimes through manipulations of his philosophical doctrines, mental experiments, and fanciful narratives of his life"--
In Early Modern Aristotle, Eva Del Soldato examines treatises, legends, proverbs, fictions, and rhetorical tropes to trace how recourse to the authority of Aristotle shaped intellectual discourse even during a period that challenged and overturned much of his teaching.
