{"product_id":"the-renaissance-of-plotinus-anna-corrias-9780367512545","title":"The Renaissance of Plotinus: The Soul and Human Nature in Marsilio Ficino's Commentary on the Enneads","description":"\u003cp\u003ePlotinus (204\/5-270 C.E.) is a central figure in the history of Western philosophy. However, during the Middle Ages he was almost unknown. None of the treatises constituting his \u003ci\u003eEnneads \u003c\/i\u003ewere translated, and ancient translations were lost. Although scholars had indirect access to his philosophy through the works of Proclus, St. Augustine, and Macrobius, among others, it was not until 1492 with the publication of the first Latin translation of the \u003ci\u003eEnneads \u003c\/i\u003eby the humanist philosopher Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499) that Plotinus was reborn to the Western world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFicino's translation was accompanied by a long commentary in which he examined the close relationship between metaphysics and anthropology that informed Plotinus's philosophy. Focusing on Ficino's interpretation of Plotinus's view of the soul and of human nature, this book excavates a fundamental chapter in the history of Platonic scholarship, one which was to inform later readings of the \u003ci\u003eEnneads \u003c\/i\u003eup until the nineteenth century. It will appeal to scholars and students interested in the history of Western philosophy, intellectual history, and book history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Corrias\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367512548\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367512545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.48d","brand":"Anna Corrias","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44128310067455,"sku":"9780367512545","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_db1ee804-850d-4ad6-9c0f-c21db81383c1.jpg?v=1687458056","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-renaissance-of-plotinus-anna-corrias-9780367512545","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
