商品詳細
解説
In this volume, the author argues that mediaeval thinkers had a way of calling humankind "natural" without implying that humans are bound by a universal, "a historical" essence. He seeks to show that in the Middle Ages "nature" and "history" were not regarded polar opposites. Using Boccaccio's theory of "poiesis" as a focal point, he offers fresh interpretations of the works covered, particularly of Boccaccio's writings.
