Structured across five major chapters, it traces key currents in Italian Vichianism, Hegelianism, interwar humanism, and the efforts to preserve or transform Renaissance tradition. The book also situates major scholars—Vincenzo Cuoco, Grassi, Garin, and Kristeller—within broader debates on revolution, tradition, and the renewal of humanism, concluding with reflections on humanism after Cartesianism.","The Other Renaissance  \nThe Other Renaissance  \nItalian Humanism between Hegel and Heidegger  \nrocco rubini  \nthe university of chicago press  \nchicago and london  \nrocco rubini is assistant professor in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures at the University of Chicago.
