Agrippa's penetrating study of 'Occult Philosophy' is widely
acknowledged as a significant contribution to the Renaissance
philosophical discussion concerning the powers of magic and its
relationship with religion. In a discriminating revival Agrippa
pursued the 'natural' magic of Ficino and Pico, while relating it
to Reuchlin's synthesis of magic and religion. Agrippa broadens the
ideas he found in his sources to forge a much more comprehensive
conception of the occult.
The critical edition of "De occulta philosophia clarifies a number
of controversies about the interpretation of this magical work.
More generally, this Renaissance 'magus' proves to be driven by a
deep scholarly curiosity, which seeks to come to grips with the
intellectual and religious problems of his time.
