On the “Concept” in Ficino’s Theologia Platonica De Immortalitate Animorum
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article deals with some scientific proposals of Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499) and pursues 2 objectives: 1. to explore the epistemology of Marsilio Ficino; and 2. from the result of this research to make a brief approaching to the idea of “magic” assumed by Ficino. Here we aim to rehabilite an epistemology far removed from the streams of thought prevailing in Modernity.
