Publisher Synopsis
"Hill's assertion that the Renaissance Christian humanist had an alternative to both the other-worldliness of Neo-Platonism and the utilitarianism of the so-called nascent 'scientific' thinkers forces us to redefine our understanding of Renaissance humanism." Anthony Raspa, Departement des litteratures, Faculte des lettres, Universite Laval "Infinity, Faith, and Time is full of interesting and important things. Its great strength lies in Hill's profound understanding of Renaissance English literature and his serious attempt to place it within the intellectual tradition of Europe, historically and philosophically." Robert Crouse, professor emeritus of Classics, Dalhousie and King's Universities Read more...
