Abstract

Ficino’s De Amore is considered to be a key text for the neo-platonic love theory and for the conception of the poet as an enthusiast. As such, this work had a great impact on Renaissance love poetry and poetics. While these ideas of love and poetry have been given wide attention, only few scholars have explored the brilliant literary character of De Amore. This paper analyses the philosophical ideas of love, beauty and enthusiasm as the poetics of the text and interprets its literary form as a performative strategy. In the context of the paper, the concept of ‘performativity’ addresses two important aspects: firstly, the speeches and the argumentation of the symposium’s participants do not only explain enthusiasm, but they also enact it. Secondly, the author aims via this performance to act upon his reader’s minds and to communicate the very enthusiasm it deals with.
