Description
The author of this essay argues that the Latin language turn was a fundamental part of a period of radical change in the history of Western European thought. This change was characterized by a shift away from medieval thought, and towards a new era of enlightenment. The author argues that the Latin language turn was essential in reconfiguring horizons of thought, reformulating paradigms of argument, and rearticulating the relationship between fiction and truth.
This study provides an entirely new look at an era of radical change in the history of West European thought, the period between 1480 and 1540, mainly in France and Germany. The book's main thesis is that the Latin language turn was not only concurrent with other aspects of change, but was a fundamental instrument in reconfiguring horizons of thought, reformulating paradigms of argument, and rearticulating the relationship between fiction and truth.
