Strategies and characteristics of scournful criticism and fierce debate in the Humanist tradition The programmatic nature of Renaissance humanism led the humanists to conflicts with those who represented other intellectual traditions, first and foremost the Scholastics. In addition, competition among humanists sparked violent quarrels. In the 16th century, the practice of dispute was partly reshaped by new national and confessional divides. This volume sheds light on the characteristics and strategies of the humanist art of arguing through a series of case studies. The contributors show how humanists constantly remodelled the art of arguing by exploiting in ever new ways the Classical rhetoric of blame and paved the way for the early modern culture of dispute.
