Rappe suggests that their books were meant as guides for the reader to access a wisdom that lies in the mind: the unity of the intellect and its objects. The mathematical symbols, the Orphic references, and the subversion of discursive thinking, which separates the self from the world, are in effect tools for the reader to explore his or her own consciousness and develop a philosophy from within. It's a beautiful thesis and motivates one to plunge into these supremely obscure and difficult texts. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Neoplatonism is a term used to designate the form of Platonic philosophy that developed in the Roman Empire from the third to the fifth century AD and that based itself on the corpus of Plato's dialogues. Sara Rappe's challenging study analyses Neoplatonic texts themselves using contemporary philosophy of language. It covers the whole tradition of Neoplatonic writing from Plotinus through Proclus to Damascius. Addressing the strain of mysticism in these works, the author shows how these texts reflect actual meditational practices, methods of concentrating the mind, and other mental disciplines that informed the tradition as a whole. In providing such a broad survey of Neoplatonic writing, the book will appeal to classical philosophers classicists as well as students of religious studies.
