Plato's Third Eye: Studies in Marsilio Ficino's Metaphysics and its Sources
The Second Ficino-Pico Controversy: Parmenidean Poetry, Eristic, and the One
Participation in the Divine: A Philosophical History, From Antiquity to the Modern Era
The concept of participation in a transcendent domain of existence is central to the Platonic and the Judaeo-Christian traditions. It is how thinkers throughout history have justified existence itself, explaining temporal being vis-à-vis God. Yet in the wake of secularisation and the widespread phenomenon of disenchantment, this once ubiquitous and coveted notion has fallen into desuetude. The essays in this volume analyse and explore this key co…

Marsilio Ficino and the phaedran charioteer
Pythagoras in the Early Renaissance
The Renaissance story of Pythagoras and Pythagorean wisdom, its religious and its scientific aspects alike, is a complicated one. One of the arresting dimensions of early Renaissance Pythagoreanism is consequent on the rediscovery of certain ancient sources. From Marsilio Ficino's viewpoint, Pythagoras' musical and theological debts were unquestionably to Orpheus. Not only did Ficino confront the twin Pythagorean notions of metensomatosis and met…

Marsilio Ficino on Plato's Pythagorean Eye
In course of his long commentary on Plato's Philebus, Florentine Neoplatonist, Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499), refers to a striking but unusual component what we might now call Plato myth: Among wisest men of Greece arose that Plato had three eyes: one with which he looked at human another at natural and another at things. The last was his forehead, while others were under his forehead.1 Ficino has just been discussing theory of Platonic Ideas and a…
The Sibyl in Ficino's Oaktree
In recent bibliographical note, Professor Frederick Purnell apparently solved translation crime first detected by Francesco Muti in 1588.' Briefly, Purnell argued that Marsilio Ficino had not intended to translate the reference to divination dia druos in the twelfth treatise of the Hermetic Pimander (XII. 19)2 as per sibyllam, as in the first, the 1471 edition printed in Treviso and in all subsequent editions bar two. Rather, he had intended to t…
