A new approach to the legacy of the Warburg Library and a companion to the pioneering work Saturn and Melancholy.
"The first interdisciplinary study of the Warburg Library network as an arena of intellectual transmission, transformation, and exchange, this volume reveals dynamics, agencies, and actors at play in the development of the Warburg Institute鈥檚 program and output, with a specific focus on the role of Raymond Klibansky (1905-2005) in the institute鈥檚 major ventures. Among these collective projects are the famous聽Saturn and Melancholy, which blends art history with philosophical and cultural history, and the聽Corpus Platonicum Medii Aevi聽series. Consulting published and unpublished sources, the essays explore the history of the Warburg Library as a vital cultural institution and the personal and intellectual relationships of the researchers devoted to it." - 看片视频-Queen鈥檚 University Press
