Rhetoric and scholasticism in fifteenth-century Italy

目前的研究项目旨在研究15世纪意大利人文主义和修辞学与经院哲学和辩证法之间的对立，为此，首席研究员研究了大英图书馆和沃伯格研究所的相关文献。研究对象主要分为三大类：1。列奥纳多·布鲁尼的《解释》与他自己的拉丁版本《伦理学》有关。在这本关于翻译的专著中，布鲁尼赞扬了试图捕捉“句子”（意思）的人文主义方法，而不是尊重“verbum”（单词）的中世纪翻译。研究者还研究了其他学者和翻译家，如Alfonso de Cartagena， Georgius Trapezuntius, Joachim Perion。米兰多拉与巴巴罗的哲学修辞学之争。皮科认为经院哲学具有独特的价值，而人文主义修辞学的唯美主义没有充分认识到这一点，而巴巴罗则反对修辞学优于哲学，并提出了一种基于希腊原始的人文主义亚里士多德主义。3. Angelo Poliziano的“Lamia”，佛罗伦萨工作室的开幕演讲。这篇演讲是波利齐亚诺在开始讲授亚里士多德的逻辑著作之前发表的，他为语言学家和人文主义者对哲学文本的解释进行了辩护。上述三个研究对象的共同点是人文主义者对经院哲学和辩证法的反对，这在15世纪的意大利仍然保持着有影响力的地位，以及源于原始希腊文本的新人文主义亚里士多德主义的兴起。

The present research project purported to look into aspects of the opposition in fifteenth-century Italy between humanism and rhetoric on the one hand and scholasticism and dialectic on the other, for which the head investigator studied the relevant literature housed in the British Library and the Warburg Institute. The objects of research fall into three main groups : 1.Leonardo Bruni's ‘De interpretatione recta' written in relation to his own Latin version of "Ethica Nicomachea". In this treatise on translation, Bruni extolled the humanist method that tried to capture the ‘sententia' (meaning) as against the medieval translation that respected the ‘verbum' (word). The investigator also studied other scholars and translators such as Alfonso de Cartagena, Georgius Trapezuntius, Joachim Perion. 2. The controversy on philosophy and rhetoric between Giovanni Pico della Mirandola and Ermolao Barbaro. Pico maintained that scholastic philosophy possessed unique values not fully appreciated by the estheticism of humanist rhetoric, whereas Barbaro objected that rhetoric was superior to philosophy and promoted a humanist Aristotelianism based on the Greek original. 3. Angelo Poliziano's "Lamia", a ‘praelectio' (opening lecture) at the Studio Fiorentino. The oration, which Poliziano delivered before embarking on his course of Aristotle's works on logic, defended the explication of philosophical texts by philologists and humanists. Common to the three objects of research above were the humanists' opposition to scholasticism and dialectic, which still retained influential positions in fifteenth-century Italy, and the rise of a new humanist Aristotelianism that derived from the original Greek text.
