В. В. Попов The article contains a network of ideas of the doctrine of angelic life in the «Oration on the Dignity of Man» by Giovanni Pico. Conceptually generalized are the terminologically different places of «Oration» concerning this topic of the teaching. The role of the contemplative ability, which is the essential content of the life of the cherubic angels, is clarified. Contemplation is a spiritual cognitive ability, through which it is possible to know both nature and god. In addition, through it the opportunity to live in love for god (the life of the seraphim) and life in the active realization of the highest justice (life of the thrones) is opened through it. Thus, through it the possibility of a three-part angelic life is revealed. The latter is the best for the human to realize his inner life potencies.
