It includes entries on philosophers, problems, terms, historical periods, subjects and the cultural context of Renaissance Philosophy.

A unique feature of this encyclopedia is that it does not aim to define what Renaissance philosophy is, rather simply to cover the philosophy of the period between 1300 and 1650.
