The Planets Within

A noted Renaissance philosopher, Marsillio Facino, wrote Three Books On Life as a guide to a more interesting, imaginative life. Dr. Moore examines the third volume and offers a reading of its images in the language, concepts, and concerns of twentieth-century experience. Following the methods advanced by psychologists C.G. Jung and James Hilman, he understands Ficino's emphasis on the centrality of "soul" as evidence that Ficino may be read as a psychologist.
