Notes

Pia Philosophia has had a major influence in technocratic/engineering circles. See David Nobles Religion of Technology.[2]


"Pia philosophia is merely one option among many similar terms that were used at the time, such as, for example, prisca sapientia, christiana philosophia, mosaica philosophia, caelestis philosophia, vetus theologia, and even nova theologia (see Di Napoli, “Il concetto di ‘philosophia perennis’,” 266–268)."[3]
