PHILOSOPHICAL ASPECTS OF PHILIPP MELANCHTHON’S OEUVRE

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the collective volume “Der Philosoph Melanchthon” edited by Günter Frank and Felix Mundt is to move the famous Reformer Philipp Melanchthon in the focus of research qua philosopher. The philosophical aspects of Melanchthon’s work and thought have been almost entirely passed over by scholars of philosophy and intellectual history in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It is commonly accepted among Reformation scholars that the theologian Melanchthon can only be properly understood in his influential role as Lutheran Reformer when set against his philological and philosophical educational background.
