<history of philosophy, biography> Italian thinker (1463-1494)
who studied in Florence with Marsillio Ficino. Pico's De hominis
dignitate (Oration on the Dignity of Man) (1486) is an excellent
statement of the principles of Renaissance humanism. He supposed
it possible for an individual human being, as a microcosm of
nature, to reconcile all philosophical positions in a single
grand system of thought. Recommended Reading: Pico Della
Mirandola, A Platonic Discourse on Love (Holmes, 1994) and S. A.

Renaissance, 1998). [A Dictionary of Philosophical Terms and
