Marsilio Ficino (1433 to 1499) was the first Renaissance philosopher to have access to the full Platonic corpus. He desired to use these ancient writings, plus faith, scripture, and reason to reunite religion and philosophy into one mutually supportive system, and was perhaps motivated to do so by circumstances arising from the era in which he worked, his life, context and writing style. His background and motivations are reviewed, followed by an examination of his philosophical arguments about God's five main attributes: existence, simplicity, goodness, omniscience, and omnipotence. Finally the divine/human relationship is examined using the uniqueness of the divine's relationship with humans, divine illumination, hierarchies and love. This assessment of the Godly attributes and the divine/human relationship finds that, although Ficino did use Platonic ideas that were new to the Renaissance period, his failure to construct strong philosophical arguments made his work ultimately less enduring than that of his contemporaries. My transcription of the 1495 edition of Ficino's 'De raptu Pauli' is included an as appendix.

Effects of binding on the electromagnetic structure of a nucleon in a nucleus is examined for the two-pion part of the nucleon form factor. The nucleon is assumed to be bound in a harmonic oscillator potential and also coupled to the pion field through the Chew-Low type interaction. In the tight-binding limit, the nucleon structure approaches that given in the static Chew-Low theory, as expected, while the loose-binding limit gives the free nucleon case with nucleon recoil corrections. Implications of this binding on the magnetic moments of the tri-nucleon systems are investigated, and it is found that for a realistic strength of the harmonic oscillator potential the binding effect is too small to be very significant. Effects of the Pauli Principle are also discussed. / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)
