When Philosophers Rule : Ficino on Plato's Republic, Laws & Epinomis Hardback
by Arthur Farndell
Part of the Commentaries by Ficino on Plato's Writings series
Hardback
Description
Searching for a definition of good government, this commentary from Marsilio Ficino examines three Platonic dialogues that have had a profound effect on Western statesmen and jurists.
A leading scholar of the Italian Renaissance-who translated all the works of Plato into Latin-Ficino prepared these notes for Lorenzo de' Medici, ruler of the republic of Florence, who aspired to be the kind of enlightened ruler Plato described.
