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 touch 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 Fichte that created the dialetic that everybody thinks is hegelian, he learned it from Pico
synthesis can only happen truly when you realise that inherent within every identity is its own contradiction
then can be isolated, to push it away to see what is this thing what is its dimension  (sand & pearl allegory)
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 - came out much later out of conspiracy world...
make all the difference in the world to realise that instead of having to deal with external obstacles, it is within the identity of a thing
everything as this schims, this flaw, everything as impedipent or restlessness
then attemps to comprehand, understand and then reintegrate
this was even "heretical" conception of god, that was the ground of existance also as this dynamic
in fact this dynamic first manifest within the identity and mind of god
who as to deal with the imperfections and inconsistencies within himself
isolate those in order to integrate them
and that is what causes the creation, life, existance of man and the focus on his own idividual identity (fate)
this the church found heretical


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
