In so doing, he reveals the distinguished past of today's culture wars, including debates about the place of women in society, the clash between science and faith, and the power of the arts to stir emotions. 410 0$aBernard Berenson lectures on the Italian Renaissance. 517 3 $aSkeptics, libertines, and opera 606 $aRenaissance$zItaly$zVenice 606 $aRenaissance$zItaly$zPadua 607 $aVenice (Italy)$xHistory$y1508-1797 607 $aVenice (Italy)$xIntellectual life$y16th century 607 $aPadua (Italy)$xHistory$y16th century 607 $aPadua (Italy)$xIntellectual life$y16th century 615 0$aRenaissance 615 0$aRenaissance 676 $a945/.3107 686 $aNN 1595$2rvk 700 $aMuir$b Edward$f1946-$0154211 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807372603321 996 $aThe culture wars of the late Renaissance$92348175 997 $aUNINA
