Description

Moving Beyond Theoria Towards Theosis explores the philosophical and theological journey from Plato's conception of theoria as humanity's ultimate goal to its Christian reinterpretation as theosis within Orthodox tradition. This scholarly work examines Plato's allegory of the cave, where reality extends beyond sensory perception into the realm of ideas, establishing theoria as eternal rest and mankind's telos. The text traces how middle-Platonic and neo-Platonic thought evolved this foundational concept, introducing more sophisticated understandings of the divine. By connecting ancient Greek philosophy to early Christian theology and the veneration of Orthodox icons, the book illuminates how the pursuit of divine union transformed across philosophical and religious traditions. Essential reading for scholars of philosophy, theology, patristic studies, and those interested in the intellectual foundations of Orthodox Christian thought and its philosophical heritage.
