La Renaissance commence vraiment avec Pléthon, même si l'orthodoxie a d'emblée souhaité faire disparaître les œuvres du philosophe maudit. Contemporain de Nicolas de Cues et se voulant comme lui romain, mais du point de vue de Constantinople, Pléthon embrasse par la pensée le monde connu et sa diversité, pour élaborer le modèle d'une constitution qui permettrait à tous les peuples de coexister dans la paix. Alors que l'Occident latin est encore aristotélicien, Pléthon demande le retour de Platon et des anciens sages. Rappelant qu'il n'y a de foi que rationnelle, il ose parier sur l'idéalisme et le principe hiérarchique, sur la théologie affirmative et la pluralité en Dieu. La requête est entendue par Cosme l'Ancien et par Marsile Ficin. Le greffon sera bien transplanté puisque l'œuvre centrale de Pléthon rayonne au cœur de la Théologie platonicienne. Pourtant la Renaissance ne fructifiera qu'au prix d'une double trahison.

George Gemistos Plethon (c. 1360-1454) was a remarkable and influential thinker, active at the time of transition between the Byzantine Middle Ages and the Italian Renaissance. His works cover literary, historical, scientific, but most notably philosophical issues. Plethon is arguably the most important of the Byzantine Platonists and the earliest representative of Platonism in the Renaissance. This book provides a new study of Gemistos' philosophy. The first part is dedicated to the discussion of his 'public philosophy', in the second, most extensive, part of the book the Platonism of Plethon
