Description
Summary:"This book covers a mix of learned articles and book reviews, which discusses academic moral philosophy and noble virtues. It includes topics about Rodrigo de Arriaga in Prague, Nicolaus Andreae Granius, and academic writing in early modern ethics. It also discusses Johann Bartold Niemeier, the Nicomachean ethics and the teaching of rhetoric at the Akademia Zamojska, and emblematic pedagogy and Nuremberg civic culture. The book captures the richness and diversity of teachings on ethics in early modern universities by clearly illustrating the workings of the teaching of ethics from the late fifteenth to the late seventeenth-century from Spain to Prague. It describes the Protestant universities in the German territories and the regions of central Europe in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth"--Publisher's description.
