Lumen Christi Institute | Marsilio Ficino and the Philosophy of Plato, with Denis Robichaud @LumenChristiInt | Uploaded July 2020 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
a Summer Webinar Series lecture by Professor Denis Robichaud (University of Notre Dame), presented by the Lumen Christi Institute and the American Cusanus Society.

In the humanist recovery and study of Platonic thought and texts, Marsilio Ficino (1433-99) was a brilliant luminary. He produced the first translation into Latin of all of Plato’s texts and of Plotinus’s Enneads, and he translated and commented on numerous other Platonic works. Ficino was also more than a scholar, he was also a philosopher and theologian whose network of students, friends, and correspondents extended far beyond his Florentine home. His philosophical thought fed early modern philosophy for generations but also raised questions of Ficino’s orthodoxy. In this webinar, Professor Denis Robichaud (Notre Dame) will discuss Marsilio Ficino’s humanist, philosophical, and theological thought.
