An analysis of Nicholas of Cusa’s conception of the power of judgment that shows it enables morality as well as cognition.
Mystical Theology and Platonism in the Time of Cusanus
Mystical Theology and Platonism in the Time of Cusanus engages with the history of mystical theology and Neoplatonic philosophy through the lens of the 15th century philosopher and theologian, Nicholas of Cusa. The volume comprises nineteen essays that break down the barriers between medieval and Renaissance studies, reinterpreting Cusanus’ place in the history of thought by exploring the archive that informed his thinking, while also interrogating his works by exploring them from the standpoint of their later reception by modern philosophers and theologians. The volume also offers tribute to the career of Donald F.

The Art of Conjecture
“Learned ignorance,” the recognition that God is beyond us and our knowing capacities is the theological concept for which Nicholas of Cusa is most famous.

He called such conjectural symbols ...

But what does the dissolution of “Western” hegemony signify for humanity’s rich learning traditions and the civilizing quest for wisdom? How can this human inheritance assist us today? "Reintroducing Philosophy" seeks a more realistic framework for discourse on these questions than offered by the Western-centric worldview, which continues to be taught in schools almost by rote. It analyzes themes from several world traditions in logic, knowledge and metaphysics connected with the quest for completeness of thinking and practice. Its examination of the relation of knowing and being is bas...

Die Modernitäten des Nikolaus von Kues
Die Modernität von Nikolaus von Kues ist ein Thema, das die Forschung seit fast 100 Jahren beschäftigt. Die verschiedenen Deutungen von Cusanus hängen stark von der Selbstpositionierung und dem Verständnis der Moderne seitens seiner Interpreten ab. Gleichwohl stellt sich nicht nur die Frage nach der Rezeptionsgeschichte von Cusanus, sondern auch die Frage, inwiefern sein Werk von seinem systematischen Kern her tatsächlich als Vorläufer modernen Denkens betrachtet werden kann.
