Eros-Beauty is an eternal human topic.More than two thousand years ago,Plato in the dialogue in Symposium to sing(Eros)name layered deeply probes into the relationship between Eros and Beauty,has been clear about the Beauty is the object of Eros,and Eros the pursuit of Beauty is fundamentally the pursuit of the beautiful breeds(in the body or soul)to achievement of human immortality,so as to construct the rising from the perceptual experience,to pursue pure and unmixed beauty with the Love of rational soul--the way of philosophical metaphysical Love.During the Renaissance,Ficino,a neo-Platonist who devoted his whole life to reconciling philosophy and theology,understood that love could communicate human nature,rationality and divinity from the ideological research of various periods,thus integrating various thoughts and re-interpreting Plato's concept of Eros-Beauty.In the interpretation of Plato's Symposium text on Plato's Symposium: On Love's,the Ficino make man's perceptual Eros-Beauty is associated with the Christian love in sacred beauty of the soul,enlightenment by Plato's philosophy of the meaning of life through Eros-Beauty the achievement way into the financing new interpretations of religion,philosophy,humanism,Eros-Beauty reveals the philosophical aesthetic value of human subjectivity freedom.Thesis is divided into three parts,the first part by comparing Symposium and Commentary on Plato's Symposium: On Love's style,plot and image,and love of god that Ficino with mysticism moral characteristics of poetry of the transformation of Plato's rational speculative philosophy poetry,The Platonic ladder of Eros-Beauty is transformed into an integrated Eros-Beauty circulation system that connects sensibility and divinity,the Platonic philosopher's god of love was replaced by the heroic god of humanism.Papers in the second part discusses the Ficino for integrated interpretation of Plato's body's Eros-Beauty,compared with Plato and sensibility to the body of love and beauty,there will be a new concept of Platonism Ficino,Christian theology,philosophy and the Renaissance humanism thought,The existence value of body's Eros-Beauty is justified by the harmony of the order of being manifested in beauty,the defence of human sensuous Eros-Beauty.Ficino regards vision as an important body experience that connects perceptual beauty and divine beauty,and believes that the "seeing" of body senses can enter the contemplation of the divine brilliance of the body through the beauty of appearance.This shows that the experience of body's Eros-Beauty is an essential link in the order of physical existence.The third part of the thesis explains how Ficino demonstrates the perfection of soul's love,beauty and existence value through the fusion of Plato's love and beauty of soul.Plato believed that the body representing the material existence is opposite to the soul representing the spiritual existence,rejecting human's emotional Eros-Beauty outside the door of the idea world,and guiding people to pursue the beauty noumenon with the soul's rational love.Ficino,on the other hand,uses the soul as an intermediary to communicate between the body and the divine,pointing out that people can return to the sacred beauty under the guidance of the soul's contemplative love.There are two kinds of love in the soul to pursue immortality,and the pursuit of immortality is the ultimate goal constructed by people in the pursuit of love and beauty.In the circulatory system from the body's Eros-Beauty to the soul's Eros-Beauty,on the one hand,man is united with god through Eros-Beauty,on the other hand,man affirms and releases the value of his perceptual existence through Eros-Beauty.This circulatory system shows that on the road of Eros-Beauty,sensibility and reason,humanity and divinity are interlinked.On this basis,Ficino affirmed the indispensable value of human sensibility in the existing world order,and affirmed the sacred humanistic value of Eros-Beauty,which also revealed the possibility of Eros-Beauty cultivation in human subjectivity freedom.
