This book deals with one of the main themes in the life and thinking of Nicholas of Cusa (1401-1464), the experience of conflict and the need to realise reconciliation and tolerance. The essays in this volume are discussing not only the various conflicts in which this important philosopher, theologian, mathematician and politician of the 15th century was involved, but also try to interpret the main speculative themes in his philosophical and theological works in the perspective of his historical experiences. As such, the book also delivers a contribution to a better understanding of intellectual, religious and cultural life of the 15th Century as an era of transition between late Middle Ages and Early Modernity. Contributors include: Inigo Bocken, Tilman Borsche, Gerald Christianson, Jean-Michel Counet, Jos Decorte (†), Wilhelm Dupré, Stephan van Erp, Maarten J.F.M. Hoenen, William Hoye, Thomas Izbicki, Frans Maas, Markus Riedenauer, Nikolaus Staubach, and Anton G. Weiler.

La passion de l’unité : tel semble avoir été l’un des principaux moteurs de l’activité diplomatique et intellectuelle du cardinal Nicolas de Cues (1401-1464). Grande figure de l’humanisme naissant, ce dernier n’a de cesse de promouvoir la paix religieuse et d’en penser les fondements théoriques dans une époque troublée : deux de ses grands traités, La Paix de la foi, Le Tableau ou la vision de Dieu, écrits en 1453, année de la chute de Constantinople, présentent ainsi un étonnant contrepoint à la gravité des événements. Héritier tardif de toute la théologie négative chrétienne, le penseur croit reconnaître en un Dieu ineffable le principe et l’instrument de la concorde à l’œuvre dans le monde, jusque dans les rapports entre les hommes de cultures et de croyances diverses. Les textes qui composent cet ouvrage sont autant de contributions méthodologiques diverses à la compréhension de ce qui justifie et éclaire un tel irénisme religieux et philosophique. Fondés sur l’analyse des rapports entre l’unité, principe et fin de l’être, du connaître et de l’agir - la concorde -, et les capacités conjecturales de la pensée humaine à saisir cette unité en Dieu, ils tentent d’éprouver la cohérence et l’intérêt des propositions philosophiques de Nicolas de Cues dans les différents champs qu’elles traversent : l’ecclésiologie, la littérature utopique, l’esthétique, la métaphysique, la connaissance symbolique, les mathématiques.

This collection of essays explores the complex relations between Christians and Muslims at the dawn of the modern age. It begins by examining two seminal works by Nicholas of Cusa: De pace fidei , a dialogue seeking peace among world religions written after the conquest of Constantinople in 1453, and Cribratio Alkorani (1460-61), an attempt to confirm Gospel truths through a critical reading of the Qur’an. After considering Nicholas, his sources, and his context, the book explores a wider range of late medieval texts on Christian-Muslim relations—not only Christian writings about Islam but also Muslim responses to Christianity. The book’s focus is historical, but it can also contribute to efforts at increasing Muslim-Christian understanding today.

This book examines the influence of Saint Thomas Aquinas upon Nicholas of Cusa's (Cusanus) doctrine of human nature. It explores this influence against the background of other authors associated with Cusanus' own generation of philosophers in order to demonstrate the uniqueness of Cusanus' use of Aquinas.
