Description

This scholarly work by Benedetto Neola examines how late antique Neoplatonists from the third to sixth centuries reinterpreted the philosopher's role in society. Moving beyond abstract intellectualism, these thinkers portrayed philosophers as divine souls chosen by the gods to liberate humanity from material existence. Through detailed analysis of figures like Pythagoras, Socrates, and Plato, Neola reveals how Neoplatonic philosophers were depicted as untouched by sensory temptation and perpetually connected to the divine realm. Rather than emphasising conventional temple worship, their sacred mission unfolds through the power of speech itself. Published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht as part of the Beitrage zur Europaischen Religionsgeschichte series, this book offers essential insights into the spiritual philosophy of late antiquity and the transformation of Platonic thought during this transformative historical period.

Key Features

Explores Neoplatonic philosophy from Iamblichus through Damascius across three centuries of late antique thought and religious development.

Examines how philosophers like Pythagoras, Socrates, and Plato were reimagined as divine souls with sacred missions to humanity.

Analyses the role of speech and rhetoric as spiritual practice within late antique Neoplatonic communities and their philosophical teachings.

Published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht in the established Beitrage zur Europaischen Religionsgeschichte academic series.
