This book makes the case for Marsilio Ficino, a Renaissance
philosopher and priest, as a canonical thinker, and provides an
introduction for a broad audience. Sophia Howlett examines him as
part of the milieu of Renaissance Florence, part of a history of
Platonic philosophy, and as a key figure in the ongoing crisis
between classical revivalism and Christian belief. The author
discusses Ficino's vision of a Platonic Christian universe with
multiple worlds inhabited by angels, daemons and pagan gods, as
well as our own distinctive role within that universe - climbing
the heights to talk with angels yet constantly confused by the
evidence of our own senses. Ficino as the "new Socrates" suggests
to us that by changing ourselves, we can change our world.
