The Philosophy of Nicholas of Cusa

More about the book

Focusing on six significant writings, this analysis explores the evolution of Cusanus's thought from his early sermons to his philosophical work, "De apice theoriae." The selected texts—ranging from "De docta ignorantia" to "Trialogus de possest"—reflect Cusanus's quest for understanding God and the fundamental principles of existence. The author emphasizes Cusanus's ontotheological claims while also examining his cosmological and anthropological insights, offering a comprehensive view of his intellectual journey and the new perspectives he developed on humanity and the universe.
