Book excerpt: Excerpt from Neoplatonism in Relation to Christianity an Essay The subject of the essay is N eoplatonism in re lation to Christianity. The addition of this qualifying clause serves to limit the field of the enquiry, and to differentiate its object from that of a history of philosophy. The writer of such a history regards Neoplatonism purely from a philosophical stand point. He draws out its relation to earlier and later systems, and seeks to assign to it its proper place in the development of human thought. Neo platonism however was not merely a great philo sophical revival: it was a part of a yet greater religious movement: and it is the latter aspect which this essay has to set forth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Neoplatonism Stoic, Humanist, and Reformer were all anxious to simplify dogma. The resemblance between Tyndale and the Roman Stoic is very close. Both thought that the necessary beliefs are few, and attainable by the simplest man, without any help from instruction or authority. It may be that the Roman Stoics did not wholly believe their own creed, and this latitudinarianism enables them to smooth off many of its angles, and use language which, in their mouths, could have no real meaning. Nevertheless the creed is there, though hundreds have read Epictetus and Marcus without perceiving it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Neoplatonism and Christian Thought written by Dominic J. O'Meara and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1981-06-30 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, the relationships between two of the most vital currents in Western thought are examined by a group of nineteen internationally known specialists in a variety of disciplines—classics, patristics, philosophy, theology, history of ideas, and literature. The contributing scholars discuss Neoplatonic theories about God, creation, man, and salvation, in relation to the ways in which they were adopted, adapted, or rejected by major Christian thinkers of five periods: Patristic, Later Greek and Byzantine, Medieval, Renaissance, and Modern. Contributors include G.-H. Allard, A. Hilary Armstrong, Elizabeth Bieman, Linos Benakis, Henry Blumenthal, Mary T. Clark, Norris Clarke, John Dillon, Cornelio Fabro, John N. Findlay, Maurice de Gandillac, Edward P. Mahoney, Bernard McGinn, Dominic J. O'Meara, John J. O'Meara, Jean Pépin, Mary Carman Rose, Henri-Dominique Saffrey, Charles B. Schmitt, and Gérard Verbeke.
Download or read book Christian Metaphysics and Neoplatonism written by Albert Camus and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary scholarship tends to view Albert Camus as a modern, but he himself was conscious of the past and called the transition from Hellenism to Christianity "the true and only turning point in history." For Camus, modernity was not fully comprehensible without an examination of the aspirations that were first articulated in antiquity and that later received their clearest expression in Christianity. These aspirations amounted to a fundamental reorientation of human life in politics, religion, science, and philosophy. Understanding the nature and achievement of that reorientation became the central task of Christian Metaphysics and Neoplatonism. Primarily known through its inclusion in a French omnibus edition, it has remained one of Camus' least-read works, yet it marks his first attempt to understand the relationship between Greek philosophy and Christianity as he charted the movement from the Gospels through Gnosticism and Plotinus to what he calls Augustine's "second revelation" of the Christian faith. Ronald Srigley's translation of this seminal document helps illuminate these aspects of Camus' work. His freestanding English edition exposes readers to an important part of Camus' thought that is often overlooked by those concerned primarily with the book's literary value and supersedes the extant McBride translation by retaining a greater degree of literalness. Srigley has fully annotated Christian Metaphysics to include nearly all of Camus' original citations and has tracked down many poorly identified sources. When Camus cites an ancient primary source, whether in French translation or in the original language, Srigley substitutes a standard English translation in the interest of making his edition accessible to a wider range of readers. His introduction places the text in the context of Camus' better-known later work, explicating its relationship to those mature writings and exploring how its themes were reworked in subsequent books. Arguing that Camus was one of the great critics of modernity through his attempt to disentangle the Greeks from the Christians, Srigley clearly demonstrates the place of Christian Metaphysics in Camus' oeuvre. As the only stand-alone English version of this important work-and a long-overdue critical edition-his fluent translation is an essential benchmark in our understanding of Camus and his place in modern thought.

This book was released on 2018-03-14 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theological and Philosophical Works of Hermes Trismegistus, Christian Neoplatonist: Translated From the Original Greek, With Preface, Notes, and Indices These same facts serve also to indicate his actual epoch. Although, as De Rouge1 has shown, very early Egyptian monuments now at Berlin and elsewhere express or insinuate the idea of the Eternal' F ather Creator, and of his Son begotten before the worlds, yet the dogma of the Holy Trinity is, as we shall find, expressed in far more categorical terms, and almost in the very words of St. John, by our Hermes in his Poem andres; so also the doctrine of Baptism and the Regenera tion or new birth, as set forth by St. John in the third chapter of his Gospel, as due to The Man, the only Son of God.
