Sažetak
In no other historical era has the love theme been given such prominence as in the period of the Renaissance. At the core of the renewed interest of the Renaissance authors for the love theme lies the introduction of Plato’s doctrine on love into the Western cultural circle, made known primarely through the translation of Marsilio Ficino and his commentary on Plato’s dialogue Symposium. With his views of love Ficino influenced all later philosophers who were dealing with the topics of love as well as the renowned Croatian Renaissance philosopher Frane Petrić. In this paper we are trying to show that, despite some novel approaches in Petrić's treatment of love, the main features of his and Ficino's conceptions of love are the same. In the works of both philosophers we find the typical Neoplatonic scheme – the dualism as the basic conception of being and of love and the tendency to overcome it through the ontological hierarchy. The key point of this Neoplatonic ontological system is that „medium“, that „in- between“, that unites the extremes. This mediating role is by Ficino and Petrić primarily bestowed upon love.
