Participation in the Divine: A Philosophical History, From Antiquity to the Modern Era
The concept of participation in a transcendent domain of existence is central to the Platonic and the Judaeo-Christian traditions. It is how thinkers throughout history have justified existence itself, explaining temporal being vis-à-vis God. Yet in the wake of secularisation and the widespread phenomenon of disenchantment, this once ubiquitous and coveted notion has fallen into desuetude. The essays in this volume analyse and explore this key co…
Reading Proclus and the Book of Causes: 3. On Causes and the Noetic Triad by Dragos Calma
This is the third of a three-volume series of essay collections based on three conferences held in Paris at the École pratique des hautes études in 2015–2016. The papers delivered at the conferences have been arranged thematically for publication—with a few essays being moved and a few others commissioned for the printed version—by Dragos Calma as general editor, who planned and organized the original sessions together with the late Marc Geoffroy…
Plotinus' Legacy: The Transformation of Platonism from the Renaissance to the Modern Era
Plotinus' Legacy: The Transformation of Platonism from the Renaissance to the Modern Era
The extensive influence of Plotinus, the third-century founder of "Neoplatonism," on intellectual thought from the Renaissance to the modern era has never been systematically explored. This collection of new essays fills the gap in the scholarship, thereby casting a spotlight on a current of intellectual history that is inherently significant. The essays take the form of a series of case-studies on major figures in the history of Neoplatonism, ra…
Plotinus on Harmonia. Musical Metaphors and Their Uses in the Enneads
Plotinus is celebrated for the manner in which he frequently employs powerful images in order to express central notions in his philosophy, and at least one major study — by R. Ferwerda 1 — has been written on this question. Particularly striking is his use of images based on light and vision to describe such things as the emanative process of the hypostases (e.g. in Enneads, V. 3, chapter 11), the omnipresence of true Being (e.g. in Enneads, VI.…

Neoplatonism after Derrida: Parallelograms
This volume deals with the relation between Jacques Derrida's writing and Neoplatonism (ancient, patristic, medieval). Starting from the undeniable fact of Derrida's continuous engagement with this tradition, the present study deals not only with the actual reading of the Neoplatonists by Derrida ('Derrida after Neoplatonism') but also with a hypothetical reading of Derrida by Neoplatonism ('Neoplatonism after Derrida'). Thus, the intended audien…

Medieval and Renaissance Humanism: Rhetoric, Representation and Reform
