Description

Explore the deep connection between ancient Greek philosophy and early Christian thought in Moving beyond Theoria toward Theosis. This work examines the human telos by tracing the evolution of the concept of theoria from its origins in Plato's allegory of the cave to its later reinterpretation in Middle-Platonic and Neo-Platonic systems. In Plato's famous allegory, the pursuit of real life exists beyond base perceptions, found instead in the realm of ideas where theoria represents eternal rest. This book follows how these philosophical foundations underwent significant changes as they were reinterpreted by early Christian thinkers. By examining the transition from theoria to theosis, readers gain insight into how the divine was understood through different historical and theological lenses. This text is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of classical philosophy and Orthodox Christian tradition.
