Programming notes: the end of the Renaissance

Posted on ..

As you may have noticed our summer break is over! Africana Philosophy already returned last week, with an episode on Anténor Firmin. Over the next few months Chike and I will be wrapping up our coverage of the 19th century, finishing with Booker T. Washington and the early writings of W.E.B. Du Bois - look out for episodes on Ida Wells, and developments in the Caribbean and in Brazil!

Tomorrow (Sept 12) will see the return (after summer break) of the series of podcasts on philosophy in the Italian Renaissance. The next few episodes are about scholasticism, Aristotelianism, and Averroism, especially at Padua. This will be followed by a series of episodes about the sciences, e.g. on mathematics and art, medicine, natural philosophy, magic and astrology - featuring such figures as Cardano, Campanella, Telesio, and Bruno.

I'll be wrapping up the Italian Renaissance in April 2021 or so, followed by a lengthy series (enough for a volume in the book series) looking at philosophy during the Protestant Reformation, and other developments around Europe outside Italy, in the 15-16th century. Hope you will all enjoy the episodes as much as I have enjoyed working on them!

Peter, I just want to thank

Peter, I just want to thank you for all your efforts these last ten(?) years. Although I've always loved history, I knew zip about philosophy, let alone how philosophy fit into the narrative of intellectual history and "regular" history. From your efforts and those of other podcasters, I now know more than zip about philosophy and a fair amount about intellectual history. I look forward to many more years and episodes of the podcast, as well as your next podcast on "The History of Gaps Without any Philosophy."

Best regards,

Spencer

List of Renaissance episodes left ?

Peter, I hope you and your family/loved ones are doing well during these difficult  times.

Will you be covering Musical Theory or will that be not covered (due to lack of material) like you did with Renaissance Legal thought (Reformation legal through has more substance) for example ? 

I'm going through your tentative episode list

Thanks for asking, it is not too far off from that. Here is the current plan:

362 Renaissance Medicine [Dec 20]
363 Girolamo Cardano [Jan 3]
364 Interview: with Guido Giglioni (medicine) [Jan 17]
365 Telesio and Campanella on Nature [Jan 31]

And then it's Philosophy in the Reformation; I will put up a prospective episode list for that early in the new year I think.
