Description

Giovanni Pico della Mirandola's Oration on the Dignity of Man is a foundational text of humanism that has had a profound impact on Western philosophy. Written in 1486 as an introduction to a public debate, it presents 900 theses on the most important questions concerning the universe, theology and human existence.

Despite being unable to hold his Oration due to persecution by the Catholic Church, Pico's ideas have become a cornerstone of Renaissance thought. This new edition brings together the full text as read by Sebastian Michael at TU Wien in 2017, along with a short introduction that provides context for this influential work.

First published over 530 years ago, Oration on the Dignity of Man remains a powerful exploration of human freedom and the pursuit of knowledge. Its themes continue to resonate with readers today, making it an essential read for anyone interested in philosophy, ethics and moral philosophy.
