His works cover literary, historical, scientific, but most notably philosophical issues. Plethon is arguably the most important of the Byzantine Platonists and the earliest representative of Platonism in the Renaissance. This book provides a new study of Gemistos' philosophy. The first part is dedicated to the discussion of his 'public philosophy', in the second, most extensive, part of the book the Platonism of Plethon 606 $aPolitical science$xPhilosophy$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aReligion$xPhilosophy$vEarly works to 1800 607 $aByzantine Empire$xIntellectual life 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolitical science$xPhilosophy 615 0$aReligion$xPhilosophy 676 $a186/.4 700 $aHladky$b Vojtech.$01047508 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462999803321 996 $aThe philosophy of Gemistos Plethon$92475094 997 $aUNINA
