Laurent de Premierfait wrote at a period when the questions philosophy asked were themselves being renegotiated.
The record lists Laurent de Premierfait as French humanist (1380–1418).
Laurent de Premierfait was born in 1380. His recorded nationality is France.
Thought in this period moved between the Islamic world, the Jewish communities and the Latin West, and the same texts were argued over in three traditions.
Among his principal works are Le livre de vraye amistié, Le livre de vieillesse and Decameron. Philosophical influence is measured in the questions a thinker made unavoidable.
That the work was done from France matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Laurent de Premierfait died in 1418, aged 38. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
