This volume maps the contours of modern receptions of Nicholas of Cusa in French and German spheres, and then beyond Europe to the Americas and Japan.

"Featuring essays by a host of today's foremost theologians and philosophers and exploring Cusa's imporrtance within a range of major thinkers and trajectories, from German idealism through phenomenology and hermeneutics to the Kyoto School, psychoanalysis, and more, the volume stands not only to inform and to enrich our thinking about Cusanus and his complex, generative reception history but also to inspire and to enhance our thinking with Cusanus about numerous questions of urgency today..."
