Philosophies of Marsilio Ficino

This article explains the philosophy of Marsilio Ficino and how they affect many celebrities such as Lorenzo de 'Medici and Sandro Botticelli. Ficino is a great Neo Platon philosopher who worked under Cosimo de 'Medici. Lorenzo and Marcillio believe that "reunification of spirit and beauty can be achieved by Venus worship" (33). Lorenzo advised Ficino to study Christian doctrine. By researching this Christian doctrine and explaining Plato's idea, Ficino proposed a new philosophy.

Ficino, Marsilio (1433-1499) Italian neoplatonic philosopher Marcilio Ficino is the center of the Renaissance's important Italian neoplatonic philosopher, the so-called Florentine Plato, the circle of philosophers around him. His father is a private physician at Cosimo de 'Medici, but there is little detail about Ficino' s early life. He was trained in medicine and began studying Greek language around 1456. These years in Florence are characterized by the emergence of Greek philosophers who avoided the progress of the Ottoman Empire and reintroduced Plato and Greek literature into Italy. Exposure to these intellectuals may give Ficino the desire to integrate Christianity and Greek philosophy. In 1463, Cosimo gave Ficino a villa that planned to translate Plato's dialogue to Latin and translated the Hermetic Camcorp (the text resulting from the Egyptian magician Hermes Treszistas). Ficino was appointed in 1473

In Neo Platon's philosophy cultivated by Marsilio Ficino, their circle of Pico della Mirandola and Florence, the same noble human power, glory and dignity are found. Florence's interest in Plato was inspired by the existence of a Greek scholar of 1439 (see Chapter 2). Fascinated by these scholars, Cosimo de'Medici began to study Plato's work further. He chose Marsilio Ficino, the son of a private doctor to lead the business. Ficino was trained in this work and became the head of the Platon Research Institute established by the main source of new Platonic trends widely spread from Cosimo and Florence. He translated and written a review of Plato himself and many ancient neoprene tonics. Ficino's friends and collaborators are prominent young nobility Pico della Mirandola
