At once a singularly successful commercial product of the new printing industry and a repository of intellectual wealth, the \u003cem\u003eAdages\u003c\/em\u003e looks ahead to the development of copyright and back to an ancient philosophical tradition that ideas should be universally shared in the spirit of friendship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this elegant and tightly argued book, Kathy Eden focuses on both the commitment to friendship and common property that Erasmus shares with his favorite philosophers--Pythagoras, Plato, and Christ--and the early history of private property that gradually transforms European attitudes concerning the right to copy. In the process she accounts for the peculiar shape of Erasmus' collection of more than 3,000 proverbs and provides insightful readings of such ancient philosophical and religious thinkers as Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Iamblichus, Tertullian, Basil, Jerome, and Augustine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKathy Eden\u003c\/b\u003e, Mark Van Doren Professor of Humanities at Columbia University, is also the author of \u003ci\u003eHermeneutics and the Rhetorical Tradition\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003epublished by Yale University Press.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.73 x 8.6 x 5.86 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 01, 2001\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47454248337586,"sku":"9780300087574","price":131.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/8605932e07a55d1446518e1d217ffc1a.webp?v=1778846121","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/friends-hold-all-things-in-common-tradition-intellectual-property-and-the-adages-of-erasmus-hardcover","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
