Participation in the Divine
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…
Plato and Plotinus on Mysticism, Epistemology, and Ethics
Dionysius the Areopagite and the Neoplatonist Tradition
'Dionysius the Areopagite' is arguably one of the most mysterious and intriguing figures to emerge from the late antique world. Writing probably around 500 CE, and possibly connected with the circle of Severus of Antioch, Dionysius manipulates a Platonic metaphysics to describe a hierarchical universe: as with the Hellenic Platonists, he arranges the celestial and material cosmos into a series of triadic strata. These strata emanate from one unif…

Πᾶσα μὲν ἡ ποίησις τῷ Ὁμήρῳ ἀρετῆς ἐστιν ἔπαινος”
Based on a reading of Basil’s Ad Adulescentes and the epistles, it is clear that Basil finds moral value in Homer and Hesiod. The trickier issue is to what extent Basil uses Homer and Hesiod in his homilies. It seems that Basil does not abandon his respect for the utility of Hellenic paideia for the Christian in his homilies. Rather, he must approach Homer and Hesiod more gingerly because he fears that his uncultivated audience will have difficul…
Syrianus
Syrianus was head of the Athenian school of Neoplatonism from 432–7 ce . He is best known through the work of his student, Proclus. Syrianus’ greatest contribution to Platonist metaphysics is his multi‐layered cosmos. He describes a cosmos comprised of levels closely linked together, each one inhabited by a god or gods arranged in a series of triads. He also outlines a theory of the ideas, coordinating epistemology and ontology.
