Marsilio Ficino’s The Platonic Theology was translated and published by Harvard University Press across six volumes between 2001 and 2006. The work, a philosophical masterpiece by the 15th century Florentine scholar, explores the immortal human soul, the order of the universe, and the reconciliation of Platonism with Christianity, which Ficino believed would usher in a spiritual golden age.
