Giovanni Pico della Mirandola Lorenzo de' Medici German idialism not called renaissance... nobility implication... patronage from nobility was missing on the german side Lorenzo had put out the word "I will purshase any text of esoteric significance" Book of enoch were provate ownership industry started of occult books hired by the medici to translate the hermetica 5th sect was power, does not like jews know they going to try and sneak in their khaballah, zoroastrianism, mithraism: when constantine formed it back in ... he rebuked that stuff but this is what the medici wanted to do they wanted to bring back ancient greek platonism, neoplatonism, and the hermetica renaiscance men were more fascinated by old testament and jewish(persian & babylonian) traditions while 5th sect rebuked it true that some of these renainscance thinkiers did want back to the pagan way Heresy conflicts Pico main inspiration of Fichte who founded german idialism first 2 eddicts of the 900 inspired the aerth of existantilism paul sartre talking about man having nobasic essence or edeinburg take on it are just footnotes to Pico Pico was speaking for plato, aristotle, iamblochus, plotanus which were speaking for heraclitus which himself was linked to the court of king cyrus the great !!! great man are great man because they stand on the shoulders of giants, this is the real western tradition 900 thesis alexander pope: Drink or taste not the pyrenean springs, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing everything you know about hegel is wrong false cold light Marsilo ficino forerunners of renaiscance humanism - Brunello latini, Dante, Petrach, Giovani Boccaccio, Celuccio salutati humanism: philosopher as citizen republic emphasis syncretism vs anti-syncretism tree-fold delphic philosophy divine arithmetic vs mercantile arithmetic Pico heald great importance to syncretism 900 thesis was first time a printed book had been burned by the church Johann Gottlieb Fichte The work of Johann Fichte, founder of german idealism, that created the dialetic that everybody thinks is hegelian ei. thesis antithesis synthesis that never was spoken by hegel only mentioned in passing not the center of his work it was Fichte iteration of the trinity/dialectic, he learned it from the work of Pico della Mirandola hegel wanted to reiterate it in a more sophisticated way, he felt that fichte ad said the antithesis thesis were clashing meaning that the irritation e.i.ἔρις/Discordia come from the outside hegel masterwork shows that no; it is in the thesis that discord being the dicotomy/contrarium arise and then in order for the thesis to discover what is wrong/contradictory(golden apple) it pushes out(projection?) the antithesis hegel: it is within the mind,subject,world,spirit that there is an inherent dicotomy/contrarium the thing get pushed out like an oyster pushing out a grain of sand from within itself (and as the 2 becomes 1) synthesis can only happen truly when you realise that inherent within every identity is its own contradiction those contracdiction then can be isolated, to push it away to see what is this thing what is its dimension (context) (sand & pearl allegoryi or no?) and then integration can take place its not that you meet something from the outside phenomenal world clashing with you, thats not the dialetic... problem reaction solution nonsense - came out much later out of conspiracy world... (materialist nothing to do with idealism) make all the difference in the world to realise that instead of having to deal with external obstacles,(ἔρις/discordia)it is within the identity of a(ll) thing (mysterie of golden apples?) everything as this schims, this flaw, everything as impedipent or restlessness , this strife ( 2 ladys, 2 mothers of all things) wadjet being sovereing/willing catardic autopoiesis leading to gnosis - nekbet feed on the dead, matter to dust - rune hail ... then attemps to comprehand, understand and then reintegrate, that is teaching you something this was even "heretical" conception of god, that is: the ground of existance, of all things created also as(contain) this dynamic in fact this dynamic first manifest within the identity and mind of god ( cant deny it exist, identity of god being things as they are, what as been woven)( or seen from another context as what the norns have woven) who as to deal with the imperfections and inconsistencies within himself (norns have their own shadow to deal with) isolate those in order to integrate them - all paradox must be reconciled and that is what causes the creation, life, existance of man and the focus on his own idividual identity (fate) and is the context in which the greatest Delphic maxim take all it's meaning Nehebkau, He who made Gods of our race, knowing Good and Evil; He bade 'Know Thyself!' and taught Initiation) far beyond good & evil my venom fall over the earth as I come to know thyself, Hadit) this is what the church found heretical (pico first work burned by church) (it is a fact that cannot be denied: the wickedness of others become our own wickedness becauze it kindles something evil within our own earths - people will do anything no matter how absurd to avoid facing their own sol - know thyself) german idealism wrote in their "special" style to shield themselve from the church in a way left-hegel became romantic which hegel would have denounced idialism and romantic not to be confused Gemistos Plethon was the real brain of the renaiscance & hermeticism at the time the one who went back to the ancient greek, he started the translations the one who fecino followed 1000yrs after Constantine, scholars where not satisfied with christianity cause of renaiscance, they did this by going back to the PAGAN traditions of greece interest in old testament can be misleading, renaiscance men interest in the esoteric aspect of the theology not judaism per say fecino translated to whole of plato into latin pico start his carreer as a disciple Pico critized the translation work done by fecino in same way Hegel and Schelling had misunderstanding Contradiction arise from Identity the greek qaballah qaballah etymology from cybele as above so below the chtonic element,earth elemental is not to be discarded Maya(illusion) is not a phenomena from the world it is your thinking about the world syncretize
