It centers on one of the most psychological movements of the prescientific age--Renaissance Italy, where a group of \"inner Columbuses\" charted territories that still give us today a much- needed sense of who we are and where we have come from, and the right routes to take toward fertile and unexplored places.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChief among these masters of the interior life was Marsilio Ficino, presiding genius of the Florentine Academy, who taught that all things exist in soul and must be lived in its light. This study of Ficino broadens and deepens our understanding of psyche, for Ficino was a doctor of soul, and his insights teach us the care and nurture of soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoore takes as his guide Ficino's own fundamental tool--imagination. Respecting the integrity and autonomy of images, \u003ci\u003eThe Planets Within\u003c\/i\u003e unfolds a poetics of soul in a kind of dialogue between the laconic remarks of Ficino and the need to give these remarks a life and context for our day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Moore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lindisfarne Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.98w x 0.71d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780940262287\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCobb, Noel:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eNoel Cobb\u003c\/strong\u003e (1938-2015) traveled widely in his early years, both geographically and intellectually, in search of a way of thinking adequate to his own rich and abounding imagination.
