Abstract

Spanish Abstract: En este trabajo abordamos el papel que los humanistas desempeñaron en la filosofía durante el periodo renacentista, a cuyo desarrollo contribuyeron sobre todo, más que con doctrinas originales, con la recuperación de las fuentes de la mayor parte de las escuelas filosóficas clásicas, que se hicieron accesibles al público a través de traducciones nuevas y mejores que las hasta entonces disponibles, y con una actualización y adaptación de los contenidos de las antiguas escuelas a las circunstancias concretas de su momento histórico. Asimismo, prestamos especial atención al platonismo, sobre todo en su modalidad neoplatónica, ya que a ella pertenecieron también algunos de los filósofos más destacados del momento, en particular Ficino y Pico della Mirandola.

English Abstract: In this work we will deal with the role played by humanists in Philosophy during the Renaissance period. They helped the development of this area but rather than through an original doctrine, they did it by means of the recovery of the major part of Classical schools of thought. Those schools became accessible to the audience thanks to new and better translations than those already available. The contents of the ancient schools were updated and adapted to the specific circumstances of their time. Likewise, we will pay special attention to Platonism and, mostly, to Neo-Platonism, as some of the most important philosophers of the time, in particular Ficino and Pico della Mirandola, followed this doctrine.
