When Cosimo decided to refound Plato's Academy at Florence, his choice to head it was Ficino, who made the classic translation of Plato from Greek to Latin (published in 1484), as well as a translation of a collection of Hellenistic Greek documents of the Hermetic Corpus, and the writings of many of the Neoplatonists, for example, Porphyry

Platonism - Renaissance, Neoplatonism, Idealism: From the 15th century onward the dialogues of Plato and a large number of Middle Platonist and Neoplatonist works, above all the Enneads of Plotinus, became available in the original Greek in western Europe.

1. Historiography. Traditional (and now largely outdated) accounts of Renaissance philosophy used to depict Aristotelianism as a unified, static, and sterile current of thought that was based in the universities and was beaten into retreat by the rise of Platonism, academies, and a more human-centered philosophical approach (sometimes confusingly identified with "humanism").

Abstract. This article provides a survey of the Renaissance phase in the history of Platonism and covers the period roughly 1440-1600. Renaissance Platonism is distinguished from medieval Platonism on account of its access to Greek texts and Latin translations of works by Plato himself and by his ancient commentators which had been

In Italy chairs of Platonic philosophy began to be established for the first time in the 1570s. Though the hegemony of Aristotelianism was in the end broken by the new philosophy of the seventeenth century, Plato's authority did much to loosen the grip of Aristotle on the teaching of natural philosophy in the universities of late Renaissance

Plato's Timaeus was already well known in the Middle Ages, but access to the full range of Plato's writings was a product of the Renaissance. Nicholas knew far less of Plato than the Florentine physician and philosopher Marsilio Ficino (1433-99), who translated Plato under Cosimo de' Medici's patronage in the 1460s and completed the

Almost immediately, Renaissance humanists in Italy began translating Plato's dialogues and The Republic into Latin and the vernacular tongues of Europe, and soon Plato's influence began to challenge Aristotle's. This movement popularizes the debate or "Symposium" as a model for philosophical understanding, implying that truth had many sides and

Natural Philosophy in the Renaissance. Natural philosophy, as distinguished from metaphysics and mathematics, is traditionally understood to encompass a wide range of subjects which Aristotle included in the physical sciences. According to this classification, natural philosophy is the science of those beings which undergo change and are

https://philosophylight.com/platonism/
Platonism is the philosophical tradition inspired by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato (c. 428 - 348 BCE). Platonic philosophy, however, is not the same as Platonism, although the terms are often used interchangeably. Platonic philosophy refers to the intellectual framework advanced by Plato himself in the Platonic dialogues, whereas

Often, the Renaissance is linked to its splendid visible results. It is linked to painting and other forms of art, which advanced and became more ÒrealisticÓ than before; to the great discoveries of exploration; and perhaps, even to intense philosophical debate. Some would perhaps even say that the industrial revolution started with the

According to W.K.C.Guthrie in his A History of Greek Philosophy 'the primary aim of education for statesmanship never left [Plato's] thoughts. It was certainly his intention that many of his pupils should leave the Academy for politics, not as power-seekers themselves but to legislate or advise those in power, and we have the names of a number who did so.'

An insightful commentary on Plato's Laws, his complex final work. The Laws was Plato's last work, his longest, and one of his most difficult. In contrast to the Republic, which presents an abstract ideal, the Laws appears to provide practical guidelines for the establishment and maintenance of political order in the real world. Classicist Seth Benardete offers a rich analysis of each of

Renaissance Humanism was an intellectual movement typified by a revived interest in the classical world and studies which focussed not on religion but on what it is to be human. Its origins went back to 14th-century Italy and such authors as Petrarch (1304-1374) who searched out 'lost' ancient manuscripts. By the 15th century, humanism had spread across Europe.
