Ficino, Platonic Theology Vol 6

Modern Library edition

The Platonic Theology is a work consisting of eighteen books by Marsilio Ficino. Ficino wrote it between 1469 and 1474 and it was published in 1482. It has been described as Ficino’s philosophical masterpiece.
The main concern of the work is to set forth a rational argument for the immortality of the human soul. Ficino ascribes to the human soul a middle position in a five-part division of things: between God and angelic beings on the one side, and qualities and bodies on the other. Ficino believed that Platonism was compatible with Christianity, unlike Aristotelianism, which, though ambiguous on the subject of immortality, had been philosophically ascendant since the thirteenth century.
