Connecting Ideas Across Time and Culture
Introduction
Aims and Scopes

The journal explores the profound philosophical ideas of the Renaissance, particularly through the works of key figures such as Giordano Bruno, Marsilio Ficino, and Giovanni Pico della Mirandola. It examines themes like free will, predestination, and the intersections of philosophy with other disciplines. - Literary Analysis:
'RINASCIMENTO' publishes analyses of Renaissance literature, focusing on the works of poets and playwrights. The journal emphasizes the literary techniques and thematic concerns of the period, providing insights into the cultural context of the time. - Historical Contextualization:
The journal places a strong emphasis on the historical context of Renaissance thought, exploring how political, social, and religious factors influenced intellectual developments. By investigating manuscripts and lesser-known texts, it contributes to a richer understanding of the era. - Interdisciplinary Approaches:
The journal encourages interdisciplinary research that bridges philosophy, literature, history, and science. It aims to foster dialogue between these fields, thus enriching the scholarship on Renaissance studies. - Influence of Classical Texts:
A significant focus of the journal is the reception and interpretation of classical texts during the Renaissance. It examines how ancient philosophies and literatures were reinterpreted and integrated into Renaissance thought.
Trending and Emerging
- Interdisciplinary Studies of Philosophy and Religion:
There is a noticeable trend toward exploring the intersections of philosophy and religion, particularly in the works of figures like Giordano Bruno. This theme is gaining importance as scholars seek to understand the complex relationships between belief systems and philosophical thought. - Reinterpretation of Classical Texts:
The journal is increasingly publishing works that reinterpret classical texts in light of Renaissance thought. This trend underscores the significance of classical influences on Renaissance intellectuals and highlights the ongoing relevance of these texts in modern scholarship. - Gender Studies and the Role of Women:
Emerging themes include a focus on gender studies, particularly the contributions of women in the Renaissance, such as Vittoria Colonna. This shift is important for broadening the scope of Renaissance studies to include diverse perspectives and voices. - Cultural Exchange and Global Perspectives:
There is a growing interest in the cultural exchanges that occurred during the Renaissance, including interactions with non-European cultures. This theme is particularly relevant in understanding the global dimensions of Renaissance thought and its implications for modernity.
Declining or Waning
- Astrology and Medicine:
Previously, astrology and its relationship with medicine were significant topics within Renaissance studies. However, recent publications indicate a waning interest in this intersection, suggesting a shift toward more philosophical and literary analyses. - Alchemical Practices:
The exploration of alchemical themes, which were once central to discussions of Renaissance thought, seems to be diminishing. This decline may reflect a broader scholarly move away from esoteric practices towards more established philosophical discourses. - Political Philosophy:
While political philosophy was a robust area of inquiry, especially concerning figures like Machiavelli, recent papers show a decrease in focus on this theme. This may indicate a shift towards more individualistic philosophical concerns rather than collective political ideologies. - Renaissance Humanism:
The traditional focus on Renaissance humanism as a singular movement is becoming less prominent. Current scholarship appears to be diversifying into more nuanced and specific areas of inquiry, rather than treating humanism as a monolithic concept.
