"Perhaps I am the mummy-like jackal who has come from the four corners of Nun and wishes to bark amongst the dogs of Seshat." Algis Uždavinys (1962-2010) was an incredible scholar of classical theurgy and Greek philosophy. While he claimed that with this book he had "nothing else to say," I can't help but feel his insights were congealing into a not quite yet realized but still marvelous synthesis of ancient thought. This monograph is a exposition of philosophy as Orphean madness, what Plato called erotike mania: the desire for the divine banquet and wisdom. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
A book on the religious, mystic origins and substance of philosophy. This is a critical survey of ancient and modern sources and of scholarly works dealing with Orpheus and everything related to this major figure of ancient Greek myth, religion and philosophy. Here poetic madness meets religious initiation and Platonic philosophy. This book contains fascinating insights into the usually downplaid relations between Egyptian initiation, Greek mysteries and Plato's philosophy and followers, right into Hellenistic Neoplatonic and Hermetic developments.
