Guest guest Posted February 27, 2000 Report Share Posted February 27, 2000 We are more than 5 senses. It's always an affirmation to feel the pulse from a distance. As someone drawn purely through art and passion's rambling to Ficino and his interpretation of the Symposium, and its far reaching, still drawing-breath influence on what I hold so dear, it does my heart good to see this: Planets Within : The Astrological Psychology of Marsilio Ficino by Editorial Reviews The publisher, Lindisfarne Books , December 10, 1999 Charting inner space. " The Planets Within " centers on one of the most psychologically oriented movements of the prescientific age. In Renaissance Italy, a group of inner Columbuses charted new territories that today still give us a much-needed sense of who we are and where we have come from. Chief among these masters of the interior life was Marsilio Ficino, presiding genius of the Florentine Academy, who taught that all things exist in soul and must live in its light. This study of Ficino broadens and deepens our understanding of psyche, for Ficino was a doctor of soul, and his insights teach us the care and nurture of soul. Also very much recommend: The Hymn to Eros : A Reading of Plato's Symposium by Lloyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
