History of Platonism

Plato redivivus

Berchman, Robert M., Finamore, John F., University Press of the South, 2005

Description

Following from the centuries of philosophical and religious thinkers who have studied and used Plato’s 4th Century B.C. doctrines, this anthology offers interpretations of Plato’s own works. The authors consider the intermediary role of Aristotle, the Neoplatonism of Plotinus, the religious and mystical theories of later Neoplatonic sources (including Egyptian writings), the effect of Platonic philosophy on Jewish writers during the Middle Ages, the adaptations of Cambridge Platonists, the Neoplatonic basis of Jung’s psychological writings, and the role of Plato’s doctrines in 20th Century Post-Modern philosophy.

Kevin Corrigan & Tuomas Rasimus (eds.) Leyde: Brill, 2013

Description

This Festschrift honors the life and work of John D. Turner (Charles J. Mach University Professor of Classics and History at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln) on the occasion of his 75th birthday. Professor Turner’s work has been of profound importance for the study of the interaction between Greek philosophy and Gnosticism in late antiquity. This volume contains essays by international scholars on a broad range of topics that deal with Sethian, Valentinian and other early Christian thought, as well as with Platonism and Neoplatonism, and offer a variety of perspectives spanning intellectual history, Greek and Coptic philology, and the study of religions.

Apocalypse of the Alien God

Publié le 10 décembre 2013 par Luciana Gabriela Soares Santoprete

Apocalypse of the Alien God

Platonism and the Exile of Sethian Gnosticism

Dylan M. Burns, Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2014

Description

In the second century, Platonist and Judeo-Christian thought were sufficiently friendly that a Greek philosopher could declare, « What is Plato but Moses speaking Greek? » Four hundred years later, a Christian emperor had ended the public teaching of subversive Platonic thought. When and how did this philosophical rupture occur? Dylan M. Burns argues that the fundamental break occurred in Rome, ca. 263, in the circle of the great mystic Plotinus, author of the Enneads. Groups of controversial Christian metaphysicians called Gnostics (« knowers ») frequented his seminars, disputed his views, and then disappeared from the history of philosophy—until the 1945 discovery, at Nag Hammadi, Egypt, of codices containing Gnostic literature, including versions of the books circulated by Plotinus’s Christian opponents. Blending state-of-the-art Greek metaphysics and ecstatic Jewish mysticism, these texts describe techniques for entering celestial realms, participating in the angelic liturgy, confronting the transcendent God, and even becoming a divine being oneself. They also describe the revelation of an alien God to his elect, a race of « foreigners » under the protection of the patriarch Seth, whose interventions will ultimately culminate in the end of the world. Apocalypse of the Alien God proposes a radical interpretation of these long-lost apocalypses, placing them firmly in the context of Judeo-Christian authorship rather than ascribing them to a pagan offshoot of Gnosticism. According to Burns, this Sethian literature emerged along the fault lines between Judaism and Christianity, drew on traditions known to scholars from the Dead Sea Scrolls and Enochic texts, and ultimately catalyzed the rivalry of Platonism with Christianity. Plunging the reader into the culture wars and classrooms of the high Empire, Apocalypse of the Alien God offers the most concrete social and historical description available of any group of Gnostic Christians as it explores the intersections of ancient Judaism, Christianity, Hellenism, myth, and philosophy.

Histories of the Hidden God: Concealment and Revelation in Western Gnostic, Esoteric, and Mystical Traditions

Publié le 6 décembre 2013 par Luciana Gabriela Soares Santoprete

Histories of the Hidden God

Concealment and Revelation in Western Gnostic, Esoteric, and Mystical Traditions

April D DeConick, Grant Adamson (Editors), London: Routledge, 2013

Description

In Western religious traditions, God is conventionally conceived as a humanlike creator, lawgiver, and king, a being both accessible and actively present in history. Yet there is a concurrent and strong tradition of a God who actively hides. The two traditions have led to a tension between a God who is simultaneously accessible to humanity and yet inaccessible, a God who is both immanent and transcendent, present and absent. Western Gnostic, esoteric, and mystical thinking capitalizes on the hidden and hiding God. He becomes the hallmark of the mystics, Gnostics, sages, and artists who attempt to make accessible to humans the God who is secreted away. ‘Histories of the Hidden God’ explores this tradition from antiquity to today. The essays focus on three essential themes: the concealment of the hidden God; the human quest for the hidden God, and revelations of the hidden God.

Plato Revived

Essays on Ancient Platonism in Honour of Dominic J. O’Meara

Karfík, Filip & Song, Euree (eds), Berlin: De Gruyter, 2013

Description

The essays compiled in this volume individually address the varied forms in which the revival of Platonism manifested itself in ancient philosophy. It pays special attention to the issues of unity and beauty, the mind and knowledge, the soul and the body, virtue and happiness, and additionally considers the political and religious dimensions of Platonic thought. Starting from Plato and Aristotle, the studies examine the multiple transformational forms of Platonism, including the Neo-Platonists – Plotinus, Porphyrios, Iamblichus, Themistius, Proclus, and Marinus – along with Christian thinkers such as St. Augustine, Boethius, and Dionysus the Areopagite. The authors who have contributed to this volume make multiple references to the scholarly work of Dominic J. O’Meara. Their further refinement of O’Meara’s approach particularly casts a new light on Late-Platonic ethics. The essays in this collection also contribute to scholarly research about the multiple inter-relationships among the Platonists themselves and between Platonists and philosophers from other schools. Taken as a whole, this book reveals the full breadth of potential in the revival and transformation of ancient Platonism.

Hans Jonas et la liberté: dimensions théologiques, ontologiques, éthiques et politiques

Publié le 21 septembre 2013 par Luciana Gabriela Soares Santoprete

Hans Jonas et la liberté

Dimensions théologiques, ontologiques, éthiques et politiques

Marie-Geneviève Pinsart, Paris: Vrin, 2002

Description

Peu de philosophes contemporains ont bénéficié comme Hans Jonas (1903-1993) à la fois d’une reconnaissance académique incontestable et d’une notoriété exceptionnelle auprès d’un large public. Aussi ne faut-il pas oublier que l’auteur du Principe responsabilité fut également un spécialiste de la religion gnostique ainsi que le maître d’œuvre d’une philosophie de la vie qui analyse la dynamique de l’organisme et de l’esprit au cours de l’évolution naturelle. Le présent ouvrage prend pour fil conducteur herméneutique la notion de liberté pour exposer le caractère profondément unitaire de cette pensée éclectique et originale. Une bibliographie – la plus complète à ce jour – de l’œuvre de Jonas et des ouvrages et articles qui lui sont consacrés permet d’approfondir et d’élargir les réflexions abordées au fil des quatre chapitres de ce livre.

Religious Conflict from Early Christianity to the Rise of Islam

Publié le 18 septembre 2013 par Luciana Gabriela Soares Santoprete

Religious Conflict from Early Christianity to the Rise of Islam

Mayer, Wendy & Neil, Berlin: De Gruyter, Bronwen, 2013

Description

Conflict has been an inescapable facet of religion from its very beginnings. This volume offers insight into the mechanisms at play in the centuries from the Jesus-movement’s first attempts to define itself over and against Judaism to the beginnings of Islam. Profiling research by scholars of the Centre for Early Christian Studies at Australian Catholic University, the essays document inter- and intra-religious conflict from a variety of angles. Topics relevant to the early centuries range from religious conflict between different parts of the Christian canon, types of conflict, the origins of conflict, strategies for winning, for conflict resolution, and the emergence of a language of conflict. For the fourth to seventh centuries case studies from Asia Minor, Syria, Constantinople, Gaul, Arabia and Egypt are presented. The volume closes with examinations of the Christian and Jewish response to Islam, and of Islam’s response to Christianity. Given the political and religious tensions in the world today, this volume is well positioned to find relevance and meaning in societies still grappling with the monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Formes et contextes d’une pratique magique, sous la direction de Michel Tardieu, Anna Van den Kerchove et Michela Zago, Turnhout, Brepols, 2013. Nous attirons votre attention plus particulièrement sur les articles consacrés à Plotin, au gnosticisme et aux lamelles orphiques.
