Abstract
The book by Sabina Ebbersmeyer, Homo agens. Studien zur Genese und Struktur frühhumanistischer Moralphilosophie, Berlin, Walter De Gruyter 2010, fills a major gap in the historiography on modern ethics, which usually neglects the contribution of the XVth century humanistic philosophy, jumping directly from Ockham to Machiavelli, and then to the Reformation. This book offers a general reconstruction of the moral conceptions of the italian humanists, from Francesco Petrarca to Leon Battista Alberti, by way of Coluccio Salutati, Leonardo Bruni, Poggio Bracciolini and Lorenzo Valla.
