The Stoic Origins of Erasmus' Philosophy of Christ (Erasmus Studies) by Ross Dealy
English | Jan. 4, 2017 | ISBN: 1487500610 | 424 Pages | PDF | 1.48 MB
This original and provocative engagement with Erasmus’ work argues that the Dutch humanist discovered in classical Stoicism several principles which he developed into a paradigm-shifting application of Stoicism to Christianity. Ross Dealy offers novel readings of some lesser and well-known Erasmian texts and presents a detailed discussion of the reception of Stoicism in the Renaissance.
