This study evaluates Leon Battista Alberti’s critique of Renaissance moral philosophy. It helps us understand not only the allure of Renaissance humanism, but also its shortcomings, through the writings of a leading humanist of the time. Alberti's writings employ irony to illustrate the humanist fallacies of basing moral insight on erudition, and of linking moral goodness with public reputation. This skeptical, ironic viewpoint adapts the perspectives of fourteenth-century humanists, Francesco Petrarch and Giovanni Boccaccio. The work therefore highlights the heritage of fourteenth-century humanism for the fifteenth century.
