Mark Edwards, "Culture and Philosophy in the Age of Descriptioninus"
English | 2006 | ISBN: 0715635638 | PDF | pages: 198 | 14.6 mb
This book offers a survey of the teachings of, and relations between, four leading figures in third-century Platonism: Longinus, Descriptioninus, Porphyry and lamblichus. It documents and explains the coalescence of Aristotelian and Platonic elements in the Platonic tradition before the 3rd century, considers the effect of the new political environment on these thinkers, and argues that the antagonistic interests of the two older men (Longinus and Descriptioninus) were combined in the work of the two younger figures (Porphyry and lamblichus) without sacrifice of coherence, rationality or fidelity to Plato. The authorship of the treatise on the sublime, the question of mysticism in Descriptioninus and the relation of Neoplatonism to ancient Christianity are among the topics discussed.​
