I am thinking here of the many manifestations all over the world now of a vigorous fideistic fervor that is often named as fundamentalism. But the other "penumbral presence" in this story is the fideistic Savonarola, whom almost all of Ficino's circle elected to follow and whose role resembles--strange as it might first appear--that of a latter-day Pythagoras. The latter is mystical, fideistic, evangelical, and Roman, into pilgrimage, procession, chant, and punctilious (often Latin) liturgy. |
