NeoPlatonism

By Charles Bigg

Book Overview

NeoPlatonism by Charles Bigg is a comprehensive study of the philosophical and religious movement that emerged in the third century CE in the Mediterranean world. The book provides an overview of the key concepts and ideas of NeoPlatonism, including the nature of reality, the relationship between the soul and the divine, and the role of the philosopher in achieving spiritual enlightenment.Bigg traces the origins of NeoPlatonism to the teachings of the philosopher Plotinus and his followers, and explores the ways in which the movement evolved over time, incorporating elements of Greek philosophy, Egyptian religion, and Christian theology. The book also examines the influence of NeoPlatonism on later philosophical and religious traditions, including Renaissance humanism and modern esotericism.Written in clear and accessible language, NeoPlatonism is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of philosophy and religion, and the ways in which ancient ideas continue to shape our understanding of the world today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
