who was Marsilio Ficino, this Friend to Mankind?
In his highly interesting and engaging introduction, Michael Shepheard summarizes his general outlook like this: As Ficino sayswe are essentially that which is greatest within us which he calls the soul. All his writings are an invitation to all mankind, to live as that greater self; to think and act and love universally, as heirs of the whole Creation; and to find joy in this.
