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.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 225mmItem Length: 153mmItem Width: 16mmItem Weight: 442gAuthor: Sara RappeGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityRelease Year: 2007 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
