Publication of the present study uniquely illuminates the extent to which Plotinus had always been the crucial influence over Ficino’s revolutionary projects of introducing Platonic thought based on original Greek sources to western Europe, correcting certain features of late medieval and Renaissance Aristotelianism, and laying the foundations of a new Christian Platonism. The study can be read both as an independent introduction to Ficino’s later philosophy and as the complement to the first modern edition and translation of the Commentary on the 'Enneads' itself also by Stephen Gersh (I Tatti Renaissance Library, 2017-).Country/Region of Manufacture: NLItem Height: 235mmItem Length: 155mmItem Weight: 1081gGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: History of Metaphysics: Ancient, Medieval, ModernRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
