Concord in the Renaissance

该项目旨在分析14世纪和15世纪意大利半岛人文主义者、哲学家、神学家、诗人和政治作家之间和谐概念的传播和政治和宗教用途。从对人文主义者乔瓦尼·皮科·德拉·米兰多拉思想的一种新颖的方法开始，这种分析有望导致对意大利文艺复兴的丰富看法，这将基于其对共同利益思想的贡献而重新评估。本项目还旨在评价“和谐”的用途和意义与“容忍”的用途和意义的关系，以表明如何在历史上了解和理论上合理的定义的基础上，“和谐”可以成为现代政治理论的一个新概念。

This project aims to analyse the diffusion and the political and religious use of the concept of concord among humanists, philosophers, theologians, poets and political writers during the fourteenth and the fifteenth century in the Italian peninsula. Starting with a novel approach to the thought of the humanist Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, this analysis is expected to result in an enriched view of the Italian Renaissance, which will be re-assessed based on its contribution to the idea of common good. This project also aims to evaluate the uses and meanings of concord in relation to those of tolerance to show how, on the basis of a historically informed and theoretically sound definition, concord can become a new concept for modern political theory.
