Title: L'astrologie au XVe siècle : le cas de Marsile Ficin (1433-1499)
Abstract: This PhD dissertation is focused on astrology as a discipline during the Italian Renaissance and studies the case of the astrologer, philosopher, theologian and physician Marsilio Ficino (1422-1499). Through the example of Ficino, we study the survival of the ancient astrology derived from Greek and Roman practices. This dissertation proposes a genealogy of astrological humanism and studies the relationships amongst the political theology and the economic theology supported by Ficino. An archaeology of Renaissance humanism is followed by a study of the survival of the ancient model of make sexuality in the Medici culture and we propose a research about the sources of Ficino's astral magic and in order to nuance Frances A. Yates's hypotheses which defend the importance of the Corpus Hermeticum in Ficino's magic.
