Nicholas of Cusa and Raymond Lull: a comparison
نویسنده
چکیده
Nicholas of Cusa (NC) (1401-1464) is one of the most prominent neo-platonic philosophers of the Renaissance. Son of a rich merchant, he studied liberal arts and canon law in Heidelberg (1416), Padua (1417-1423) and Cologne (1425-1426). His time in Padua let him breathe the free air of Italian quattrocento. There he first met some of his later friends who would become influential men of Church, politics and science: Guiliano Cesarini (1398-1444), bishop, diplomat and military leader from Rome, Paolo del Pozzo Toscanelli (1397-1482), mathematician and medicine doctor from Florence, etc. They opened to him the Renaissance world of Florence, Rome and Venice with its interest to the Greek and Roman antique culture and humanism.
