Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola: The Very Elegant Speech On The Dignity Of Man is a book written by Charles Glenn Wallis. The book is a translation of Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola's famous speech on the dignity of man, which was originally given in 1486. The speech is considered one of the most important works of Renaissance humanism.In the speech, Pico argues that human beings are unique and special because they have the ability to choose their own destiny. He argues that humans are not bound by fate or predetermined by their nature, but rather have the power to shape their own lives through their choices and actions.Pico also argues that humans are capable of achieving great things and that they have the potential to become like gods. He suggests that this potential is what gives humans their dignity and that they should strive to live up to this potential.The book includes an introduction by Wallis, which provides background information on Pico and his speech. It also includes a translation of the speech itself, as well as notes and commentary to help readers understand the context and significance of Pico's ideas.Overall, Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola: The Very Elegant Speech On The Dignity Of Man is a thought-provoking and inspiring work that explores the nature of humanity and our place in the world. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Renaissance humanism, philosophy, or the history of ideas.This is a new release of the original 1940 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
