However, this monograph argues that his remarkable theories of freedom transcend his own time and, traversing centuries of Medieval and Byzantine history, they become one of the core theoretical inspirations for the anthropological revolution of the Quattrocento, as evinced in eminent philosophers such as Nicholas of Cusa and Giovanni Pico della Mirandola. Our research methodology integrates a thorough study of the Greek and Latin sources ‒ resorting to Philology, Palaeography and Codicology ‒ with a systematic historical and philosophical analysis of different theories and argumentative strategies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francisco Bastitta Harriet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3506795066\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783506795069\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill Schoningh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 15.49lbs","brand":"Francisco Bastitta Harriet","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48450097578239,"sku":"9783506795069","price":149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2d571425-f500-440a-984c-bdd033262db8.jpg?v=1777266204","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-ontological-freedom-francisco-bastitta-harriet-9783506795069","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
