The Evolution of Theology in the Greek Philosophers, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate evolution of theological thought within the realm of Greek philosophy. It meticulously examines the philosophical landscapes shaped by towering figures like Plato and Aristotle, dissecting their groundbreaking attempts to construct a unified understanding of the cosmos. The author embarks on a captivating exploration of the post-Aristotelian era, shedding light on the philosophies of the Stoics, Epicureans, and Skeptics. Their individualistic approaches and their attempts to grapple with the complexities of human existence in a seemingly indifferent universe are brought to the fore. Central to this intellectual odyssey is the emergence of Neo-Platonism, a philosophical system that sought solace in a mystical union with the divine. The author delves into the profound ideas of Plotinus, the central figure of Neo-Platonism, exploring his concepts of the One, the World-Soul, and the human soul's journey towards enlightenment. The influence of these ideas on early Christian theology is also thoughtfully considered, highlighting the complex interplay between Greek philosophy and religious thought. Ultimately, this book unveils the enduring legacy of Greek philosophy in shaping our understanding of the divine and our place in the universe. It offers profound insights into the human quest for meaning and purpose, leaving readers with a deeper appreciation for the intellectual tapestry woven by the great thinkers of ancient Greece. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
