Charles B. Schmitt's 'Aristotle and the Renaissance' explores the profound influence of Aristotle's works on the intellectual and cultural developments of the Renaissance period. This scholarly work, based on the Martin Classical Lectures delivered at Oberlin College, examines the reception and transformation of Aristotelian philosophy and science from the late Middle Ages through the Renaissance.
