All Things Natural Volume 4 by Arthur Farndell
Ficino's commentary on Plato's Timaeus offers the English reader, for the first time, an opportunity to share the insights of this highly influential Renaissance philosopher into one of Plato's most important works. It provides rich source material for those interested in philosophy, the history of cosmic theory, Platonic and Renaissance studies.
"All that we regard as the norm of Western European art—Botticelli's paintings, Monteverdi's music, Shakespeare's philosophical lovers, Berowne and Lorenzo, Jacques and Portia—has flowered from Ficino's Florence" —Kathleen Raine, Times
"Not a new translation of the Timaeus, but a commentary on it. Surprisingly, this is the first time it has been translated into English and Arthur Farndell has to be congratulated on offering the reader a rare chance to see how the Timaeus was viewed at the time of the Renaissance." —Contact
"Ficino was concerned to align the wisdom of Plato with Christian revelation ... That Ficino was a Christian Platonist is a major reason why he was so influential among the philosophers, theologians and artists of his time." –Temenos Academy Review 2012
Arthur Farndell is the translator of Evermore Shall Be So, Gardens of Philosophy, and When Philosophers Rule and is the author of A Mahabharata Companion.
