The Oration on the Dignity of Man reads like an introduction to Pico Della Mirandola's 900 theses. If one is looking for a detailed exposition of occult philosophy you won't find it in this short treatise. However, what Pico Della Mirandola does achieve is a polemical call for a synthesis of the esoteric teaching of the ages. He doesn't declaim the exoteric but rather shows how exoteric mysticism and esoteric mysticism coalesce in a grand tradition going back to Hermes Trismegistus, Zoroaster, Jesus etc. On another level this text is of historical relevance for scholars of Rennaisance thought. Pico della Mirandola was precocious, it is amazing that he had done so much research into the esoteric arts, theology, philosophy all at the young age of 24. Sadly, he passed young and we don't get to see the full flowering of this erudite humanist thinker.… (mer)
