Description

Explore the deep traditions of Platonic philosophy with Reading Neoplatonism by Sara Rappe. Published by Cambridge University Press, this academic study provides a rigorous analysis of Neoplatonic texts from the third to the fifth century AD. The book examines the evolution of this philosophical movement, which grew from the foundation of Plato's dialogues during the Roman Empire. Using contemporary philosophy of language, the author examines the writings of key figures including Plotinus, Proclus, and Damascius. This work offers a unique perspective on the relationship between text and practice. Rather than viewing these works as purely theoretical, the study shows how they reflect actual meditational practices and mental disciplines. Readers will gain insight into the methods of concentrating the mind and the specific ways these ancient thinkers approached non-discursive thinking. This is an essential resource for students and scholars of academic philosophy seeking to understand the intersection of philosophical text and spiritual discipline.
