Abstract

This essay seeks to characterize the way Marsilio Ficino thought about the relationship of philosophical reason and religious belief. It argues that Ficino is conservative in his theological method but that his theory of the sources of religious knowledge and his views on the place of Christianity in the family of world religions are much more innovative and point forward to Rousseau and theologians of the Romantic period such as Schleiermacher.

Although I am lucky enough to be able to use an excellent library, where I could read the print version of this article, on-line access means that I can have my own copy easily and quickly. Moreover, had it not been on-line, I doubt that I would have found it.
