Review # 1 was written on 2014-09-03 00:00:00 Clifton Mcguffey A linguistic exploration of the later Neoplatonists. 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. |
