Genius from the Renaissance to 1770: Genius is relevant to the history of ideas in the following meanings: (1) the designation of superior mental powers productive of rare superior performances; or also as the designation of a man possessing these powers; (2) as the peculiar spiritual character of an era, of a nation, of a man; (3) as a special talent for some particular type of performance. The first disignation is basic. Performances considered as products of genius may also belong to politics, warfare, exploration, etc., but such achievements are regarded primarily as 'original intellectual work', as discoveries or inventions, and especially as artistic creations in contrast to imitation. Until the middle of the eighteenth century, these original activities were collectively designated by 'inventio', or equivalents of this term. Their further differentiation (especially of discoveries from inventions) is frequently ignored. During the Renaissance (and later), two different Latin terms were used for genius: 'ingenium' and 'genius'; they seem to have first acquired this meaning in Italy, where corresponding Italian words, 'ingegno' and 'genio', were also used. A fundamental trait of genius is that it is an 'innate' capability, operating with 'spontaneous facility', versus talents which may be taught and learned by diligence; but, nevertheless, it may need diligence for its development and discipline. Whether this capability depends on a unique mental power, or on and assemblage (proportion) of powers, or on a kind of inward revelation, is a further debatable question. At first, 'irrational' traits attributed to genius are considered irrelevant; later they are magnified by the confluence into this idea of the Platonic doctrine of 'furor poeticus' in poetics. Genius, in this respect, is sometimes considered as verging on distraction. Also Platonic is the 'divine' character frequently attributed, metaphorically or not, to genius, because its original work is compared both with God's creation, and with what is considered the result of supernatural inspiration. In fact, while 'ingenium' is intended to mean"inventive intelligence", the Latin term 'genius' (Italian 'genio') in the Renaissance originally refers, metaphorically or not, to a superior spirit inspiring a human being in the traditions of Socrates' demon or in that of astrology (astral spirit). Petrarch and Boccaccio had used 'ingenium' in this sense, but still rather atypically; but Poliziano and Pico stress the element of originality when they use it. Pico also refers to 'genius', as does Erasmus in 1528. Casiglione (1528) only uses 'ingegno'. The Portuguese art theorist Hollanda, a pupil of Michelangelo, stresses (1548) the innate character of genius (Portuguese 'engenho', 'genio'). Alberti, Condivi, and Vasari point out that genius and diligence are different qualities, but that they may be profitibly united; the same connection between genius and memory is asserted by Boccaccio, Alberti, Enea Silvio Piccolomini, Erasmus, Trissino. Scaliger's doctrine of genius (1561), centering on poetics, is peculiarly important. Genius ('ingenium', 'genius') is something divine and innate, associated with enthusiasm (furor poeticus); it belongs to both arts and sciences. Cardano identifies genius with a kind of 'spiritus familiarus'. For Fracastoro and Giovio, genius only means a talent in some particular field (Zilsel, 1926; Thume, 1927). The term 'genius' is used by Adriani (Manuale, 1845) as the spirit of a nation. For Bruno (1585), genius as divine enthusiasm is the origin of the rules of art (Bryne, 1951; Thume, 1927). But seventeenth-century Italian authors, such as Balileo, Torricelli, Magalotti, Salvine, exclude for 'genio' supernatural and enthusiastic traits (Zilsel, 1926). Pellegrini (1650), Tesauro (1654), and Pagano consider 'ingegno' in connection with Beauty. For Vico, 'genio' is the source of inventions (Croce, 1946, Pagano, 1650). Dictionary of the History of Ideas Studies of Selected Pivotal Ideas Charles Scribner's Sons - New York Herrera (1580) identifies "Plato's Genius" (Spanish 'genio) with "Aristotle's active intellect" as a supernatural power of invention. by: Mytheoryous
