Abstract | This session explores the influence of Cusanus on immediate generations, a rich and much-debated topic. In particular it will look at the ways the celebrated Italian thinker Pico della Mirandola made use of and adapted aspects of Cusanus' thought. This in turn helped mediate the thought of Cusanus to subsequent thinkers, including those who made use of his teachings in the context of the early Reformation. |
