"Erasmus of Rotterdam is not typically associated with the discipline of philosophy. Yet, he would himself employ the category of philosophia Christi in the sense of authentic Christianity which had not been contaminated by the abstractness and pedanticism of paganized mediaeval scholasticism. Does this reveal a contrarian attitude to philosophy in general or rather a special understanding of what a "true' philosophy as a way of life should be? This study attempts to answer this question by assembling and closely studying from Erasmus' extensive oeuvre his scant and occasional remarks on the concept of philosophy"--

"Erasmus von Rotterdam (1467-1536) lebte in turbulenten Zeiten: Renaissance und Humanismus, Reformation und Gegenreformation, Entdeckungen, fürstliche Kriege und die Bedrohung Europas durch die Türken. Sein Leben verbrachte Erasmus in Holland, Paris, dem burgundische Brabant und Löwen, in England, Italien, den Städten entlang des Rheins und in der schweizerischen Stadt Basel. Seinen Zeitgenossen vornehmlich durch seine Schriften bekannt, allen voran dem 1511 erschienenen Lob der Torheit ('Morias Encomium'), imponiert Erasmus vor allem durch die Fülle an Briefen, die er schrieb und empfing, und die ihn zu einer unverzichtbaren Quelle für das Studium des damaligen Zeitgeschehens machen: Seine Korrespondenzpartner kamen aus ganz Europa. Er korrespondierte mit Bischöfen, Kardinälen und Päpsten, aber auch mit den protestantischen Reformatoren. Eine von Percy Stafford Allen angestoßene - und 1958 abgeschlossene - vollständige Edition der (lateinischen) Briefe des Erasmus hat sich seit Langem als 'klassisch' etabliert. Mit dem Erscheinen des 21. Bandes der auf insgesamt 86 Bände angelegten Collected Works of Erasmus liegen seit 2022 nun sämtliche der über 3.000 Briefe auch in historisch-kritischer, englischer Übersetzung vor. Das vorliegende Buch bietet den Lesern eine umfassende Einführung in die Welt der Briefe des Erasmus." --

Offering a re-reading of Erasmus's works, this book shows that emotion and affectivity were central to his writings. It argues that Erasmus's conception of emotion was highly complex and richly diverse by tracing how the Dutch humanist writes about emotion not only from different perspectives-theological, philosophical, literary, rhetorical, medical-but also in different genres. In doing so, this book suggests, Erasmus provided a distinctive, if not unique, Christian humanist emotional style. Demonstrating that Erasmus consulted multiple intellectual traditions and previous works in his thoughts on affectivity, The Renaissance of Feeling sheds light on how understanding emotions in late medieval and early modern Europe was a multi-disciplinary affair for humanist scholars. It argues that the rediscovery and proliferation ancient texts during the so-called renaissance resulted in shifting perspectives on how emotions were described and understood, and on their significance for Christian thought and practice. The book shows how the very availability of source material, coupled with humanists' eagerness to engage with multiple intellectual traditions gave rise to new understandings of feeling in the 16th century. Essary shows how Erasmus provides the clearest example of such an intellectual inheritance by examining his writings about emotion across much of his vast corpus, including literary and rhetorical works, theological treatises, textual commentaries, religious disputations, and letters. Considering the rich and diverse ways that Erasmus wrote about emotions and affectivity, this book provides a new lens to study his works and sheds light on how emotions were understood in early modern Europe.

"The purpose of this book is to distill the Christological elements from his voluminous corpus in a manner that shows the range, the coherence, and the value of Erasmus' thinking on matters Christological. While Erasmus works within the broad parameters of orthodox teaching, his critical skills with languages, accent on rhetoric in theology, keen sense of irony, appreciation for the limits of human knowledge, incipient sense of history, emphasis on the welfare of humanity, and passionate defense of peace, give his work a distinctive stamp and thereby make a singular contribution to the history of Christology"--
