Beschreibung

In his own day a center of controversy, in the four hundred years since his death known too often solely as an apostle of mockery and irreverence, Erasmus can be seen today in a new light-as a humanist whose concen is at once contemporary and Christian.

The Essential Erasmus is the first single volume in English to show the full spectrum of this Renaissance man's thought, which is no less profound because it is expressed with the grace, wit, and ironic detachment only a great writer can achieve.

Contains the full text of In Praise of Folly

Über den Autor

Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus, widely known as Erasmus of Rotterdam, was born in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and died on July 12, 1536, in Basel, Switzerland. He was a renowned Dutch Christian humanist, Catholic priest, theologian, educationalist, satirist, and philosopher. Erasmus is best known for his work in the field of education and for his contributions to the Renaissance humanist movement. He was deeply influenced by prominent figures like Martin Luther, Thomas More, and Aristotle. Throughout his life, Erasmus focused on the importance of education, advocating for the improvement of Christian society through a more enlightened understanding of scripture and the humanities. His works, including The Praise of Folly, critiqued the church and society, using satire to call attention to the shortcomings of both. Erasmus influenced many thinkers, including William Tyndale and Philip Melanchthon, and his legacy continues to shape Western thought. His parents were Margaretha Rogerius and Roger Gerard, and his intellectual and theological contributions have left a lasting mark on philosophy, religion, and education.
