ABOUT THIS BOOK:
Pico's 900 Theses (1486) represents a grand syncretic project, proposing a unified understanding of Western thought by harmonizing diverse philosophical and religious traditions. Pico aimed to debate these theses publicly, hoping to demonstrate the common ground beneath seemingly conflicting systems, but his plans were thwarted by the Catholic Church. Very Good. Item #16944
