Hermetic Revelation and Poetic Revelation in Francesco Patrizi da Cherso: some notes

Francesco Patrizi da Cherso (1529-1597) radicalized the Platonic instances, excluding Aristotelianism from the rebirth of modern philosophy, and updated them on the basis of the most recent innovations of the Century. Mainly through the analysis of specific passages of his monumental work, "Della Poetica", the contribution aims to investigate the connections between philosophy, poetry, magic, and political rebirth. For Patrizi, in fact, the original philosophical-religious revelation is expressed through poetic language, for specific physiological and operational reasons that poetic language entertains with respect to the psychosomatic construct of the human being.
