چکیده:
In the present article, the humanistic foundations of the views of Marsilio Ficino, the Florentine philosopher of the Renaissance era, are researched, analyzed, and examined. The teaching and study of classical language and literature, the translation of many texts from both Latin and Greek, a fluent and smooth writing style, and modeling after classical authors such as Seneca in composing works such as collections of letters, an interest in law, the special status of poets, and anthropocentrism are among the items that, based on them, Ficino should be placed in the rank of humanists. From Ficino's perspective, humans possess a superior position compared to other beings in two respects: 1) ontologically and 2) epistemologically. In this article, an attempt is made to discuss and examine human superiority from both perspectives. During the analysis of these foundations, explaining the instances indicating Ficino's influence from ancient schools and intellectual movements and mystery religions is another matter worth mentioning.

In addition to the writing style, the content of his letters was also what was expected in the Renaissance era; letter writing in this era was considered a sub-branch of the science of rhetoric (ars dictaminis) and was used for broader purposes beyond personal correspondence, such as reporting news, announcements, political statements, and short scientific and philosophical treatises, and among the reasons for the occupation of university chairs by humanists and teaching in schools, their awareness and skill in this field was (Kristeller, "Florentine Platonism and its Relations with Humanism and Scholasticism", p.
This is a characteristic that cannot be witnessed in any of the other hierarchies of existence; because the intellect only faces God, and quality, contrary to it, possesses the greatest distance from divine matters, and only the rational soul is the connecting link between the immaterial and the material, and from this respect is distinct from other levels of existence (Ficino, Theologia Platonica De Imortalitate Animorun, vol 4, p.
Conclusion Ficino, in addition to his interest in the beautiful writing style of the authors of ancient Greece and Rome and imitating it, learning the Greek language, translating many books from Greek to Latin, and paying attention to the views of the thinkers and philosophers of that era regarding poetry, was attracted to their human-centered views which emphasized self-knowledge, man as the measure of all things, and the recipient of divine inspiration; and like other Italian humanists, by adopting a new and modern attitude in the matter of man, rose in opposition to the principles of Christianity in the Pauline-Johannine tradition and distanced himself from Christian religious teachings and scholastic philosophy that were subject to religious beliefs on this subject.
