Plato and Aristotle were very much alive between the fifteenth and the seventeenth centuries. The essays in this volume investigate the interaction, both in terms of harmony and contrast, between the two philosophers in early modernity, that is in a time when long-forgotten texts became available and a new philological awareness was on the rise. Dealing with famous and less famous early modern interpreters and philosophers, in a transnational and translinguistic perspective, this volume reveals the agendas behind the discussions on Plato's and Aristotle's philosophies. In studying these texts, it is hard to imagine a more significant collision of big names with big ideas. This project takes us to the centre of the intellectual life of the period and its most exciting debates.

Anna Corrias is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Cambridge, UK, and the University of Toronto, Canada, where she works on the reception of late ancient philosophy in the early modern period, with a special focus on the Platonic tradition. She authored the monograph The Renaissance of Plotinus: The Soul and Human Nature in Marsilio Ficino's Commentary on the "Enneads" (London, 2020), and several articles.

Eva Del Soldato is Associate Professor of Romance Languages at the University of Pennsylvania, and the Executive Secretary of the American Association for Italian Studies (AAIS). Her work focuses mainly on the reception of the Aristotelian and Platonic traditions in the early modern period. Her publications include the monographs Simone Porzio (Rome, 2010) and Early Modern Aristotle (Philadelphia, 2020).
