To open up broad prospects, we must keep in mind one of nine hundred ala Pico conclusions:


These few data in hand, back to the critical edition of Parmenides comment. Maude Vanhaelen carefully analyzes the structure of Ficino's text, apparently modeled on the commentary of Proclus and whose singularity outcrops that recontextualized in the debate with John Pic. Moreover, the seven speeches ("evidence") Platonic for the absolute superiority of the One Being on (chap. 41-47) are the heart of the argument of the Florentine. More informally, it is to avenge the insult by responding to each attack made by Pico. For example, the first two replicate discourse ala in Chapter 7 of De Ente Uno and invalidating the equivalence woven by the Neoplatonists between A / multiple and contradictory couples Being / Not Being the sole purpose of making an extensible Not Being in one hand and the multiple to Being the other.
But the comment Parmenides does not replicate only in De Ente and Uno, which itself responded to the remarks of Lorenzo the Magnificent. It also gives the exchange, with a few years of delay, a first set of criticisms made by Pic in 1486 in his commentary to a love song. In affirming the equal extension of Good and Beautiful, Pic already argued that the One and Being: "Desire is the inclination or impulse of one who desires to what is or what he seems worthwhile: what is still called the well, which is a kind beauty. The beautiful stands well as the species of its kind and not extrinsic to intrinsic, to quote Marsilio "[1]. Beau is not out of good but instead ranks as the largest kind of good. In 1486, the Mirandolain formulated the position that he did not hesitate, five years later, to argue loudly. [2] In contrast but in the same parallelism, Ficino argues in his Commentary on the Parmenides absolute superiority of A versus Being as he has previously stated in his commentary on the centrality of good Banquet compared to Beau device ala [3]. Thus the procession of Being from the A intersects the emergence of Beau from the Well, the same way that the outer light (splendor) is derived from the inner light (lux). God is beautiful only when it attracts creatures ala through external faces, more or less obvious evidence of his infinite goodness. The most striking ala beauty shine in the Universal Being, in which the multiplicity of ideas is seamlessly sequenced ala [i]. We can not deny it: Being and Beau are only forms investees a previous principle, both One and Many.
At the level of the second circle of concord (agreement between Aristotle and Plato), Ficino adopts a similar pattern in anticipation of a being echoed on the superiority of Plato Aristotle. As to achieve harmony, we must try to extend the Aristotle to Plato's reference ala line. Read Ficino, Pico would doubly sinned by giving Plato's thesis convertibility transcendental and denying the theological dimension of the Parmenides. But it is worth mentioning a more implicit complaint: before the convertibility of a truly transcendental Platonic thesis, ala Pico was attached to Aristotle. But it is precisely for Ficino the rub. According to him, Aristotle can not state the thesis of convertibility for the simple reason that at no time did Plato endorsed. Seen, Marsilio do not blame her for wanting younger ala grant Aristotle and Plato. He noted that it is only in trouble. Hence a series of adjustments carried out on two levels: (1) the subject of agreement between Aristotle ala and Plato is not the thesis of the convertibility of the transcendentals, but first, the use of the words "A "and" good "to describe the first principle and absolute superiority on Being; (2) the purpose of the Aristotelian philosophy is no longer confused with the object of Platonic studies - the first principle - but the foregoing. Thereupon, Plato and Aristotle can not be equal extension ala in relation to the other as the first settled deeper than the second on the theological ground. However, if Ficino shows the traditional Aristotle ordered to remain in the sanctuary hall Platonic image, it breaks new ground by including their relationship in terms of continuity, like the one that connects the natural to the supernatural order [4] order. ala
To open up broad prospects, we must keep in mind one of nine hundred ala Pico conclusions: "There is no natural or divine matter where Aristotle and Plato agree q
