This volume, which is uniform with the "Skeptics of the French Renaissance" by the same author, may be considered in some sort a continuation of his "Evenings with the Skeptics," although quite independent of that work. In the author's view skepticism implies the function of a natural energy, and hence discharges offices which are akin in all periods, especially where dogma is concerned. The true skeptic he defines as the seeker after ultimate truth in the absolute, and hence thinks that skepticism will claim a larger sphere in the future than in the past, not only in theology, but in science and philosophy. The Weekly Review says: "The plan of the work is to give formal essays on some of the important divisions of the subject, followed by philosophical discussions in the form of dialogues. Under one aspect the movement of the fourteenth and following centuries in Southern Europe was a revival of paganism. The lights of the Church occupied themselves with Latin and Greek writers instead of with the Fathers. This eager study of the classics could not fail to loosen the bands of bigotry a little. Men could not read Ciceo for his style merely and not get some contact with his ideas. The ideas may not be very valuable intrinsically, but they were different from those of Italian readers of the thirteenth century. Another cause for the emancipation of the intellect was the contact with a civilization, in many respects higher, brought about by the Crusades. Still another cause is to be found in the dissensions between Pope and Kaiser, between the spiritual and secular powers, and still more in the intestine divisions of the Papacy itself. "The longest and on the whole most interesting essays are those on Giordano Bruno and Vanini; partly perhaps, at least in the case of the former, owing to the vigor of thought, partly on account of the tragical death of the thinkers discussed." The London Athenaum concludes a lengthy review with the words: "The most characteristic featuie of the book, it may be noted in conclusion, is the account given of anticipations of the Renaissance in the Middle Ages. Anticipations of later thought in the Renaissance itself are less dwelt on. What is sometimes called the 'transition period' is, for the author, a last term. In the distinctively modern development of philosophy he seems to be less interested. In spite of his stress on 'skeptical' inquiry, it is each thinker's conception of the universe as a whole that he cares about rather than his critical scrutiny of the principles of knowledge. This last inquiry, as has often been said, is more distinctively modern. What distinguishes the Renaissance is the effort to attain again a comprehensive theory of the universe. The result might at the time be disintegrating rather than reconstructive; but the effort itself, as Mr. Owen sees clearly enough in the case of Bruno, was one of synthesis more than of analysis." -Book Reviews, Vol. 1

Excerpt from The Skeptics of the Italian Renaissance At the same time, and with the distinction just pointed out remaining prominently before our minds, we must by no means forget that Skepticism in the view of the Author, and as an inspiring principle Of the following work, implies the function Of a natural energy or intellectual organ. Hence it has qualities and discharges Offices which are necessarily akin in all periods and in all conditions. Especially its relations critical and antagonistic - to dogma Of every kind, must under every variety of condition and circumstance be very largely similar if not identical. It is therefore Of primary importance that the meaning and sphere Of Skepticism should be marked out with as great clearness as possible. For this purpose the author is persuaded he cannot do better than lay before his readers a few Observations partly apologetic, partly expository, extracted from the preface of his former work. Besides throw ing light on the subject and treatment Of the present work, it may help to set at rest a misconception - against which the author has been struggling for years - which has long affected and perverted current notions Of Skepticism both in Philosophy and Theology.

In this book, Muir explores an era of cultural innovation that promoted free inquiry in the face of philosophical and theological orthodoxy, advocated libertine morals, critiqued the tyranny of aristocratic fathers over their daughters, and expanded the theatrical potential of grand opera. In so doing, he reveals the distinguished past of today's culture wars, including debates about the place of women in society, the clash between science and faith, and the power of the arts to stir emotions.

This study explores a prominent Italian Renaissance theme, the origin of genius, revealing how the coalescence of a Platonic theory of divine frenzy and an Aristotelian theory of melancholy genius eventually disintegrated under the force of late Renaissance events.
