Mayers, J. A. Sam Webster. "The history of Theurgy from Iamblichus to the Golden Dawn." Thesis, University of Bristol, 2014. https://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.683697.
Full textAbstract:
Can evidence be found to demonstrate a continuity in the development of Western ritual magic from ancient times to modern? This study attempts to answer that question in the positive by examining the practice of theurgy as expressed in three critical authors and time periods to determine if they are substantially the same or to account for the differences. Iamblichus, in De Mysteriis, c . AD 300, gave a defense of theurgy and a description of its practice. From this work, supplemented by his other surviving writings, is extracted a paradigm for theurgy by modeling the cosmology, psychology, primary practice and secondary activities, and ultimately the attainment of the theurgist. Agrippa's Three Books Occult Philosophy, c. 1530, is queried identically to determine if the same structures are present. They are , when allowances are made 'for his synthesis of Iamblichan theurgy with Catholic Christianity by way of the Kabbalah. Likewise, the extant materials of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn are analyzed by the same means. lamblichus's paradigm , transformed by Agrippa's synthesis, is found in the Order's practices but shifted from material to more symbolic modes. Transmission lines are traced showing the path of knowledge transfer from Iamblichus through Agrippa to the Golden Dawn. Questions are raised about the utility of the category of magic , and a religious framing of theurgic practice is presented. Theurgy is ultimately presented as advanced and privatized spirituality.

Full textAbstract:
The writings of the sixteenth-century court philosopher and university lecturer Francesco de' Vieri, also known as Verino Secondo, have to date been recognized by intellectual historians primarily for their contributions to the history of Aristotelianism in the vernacular and by art historians as a primary source for the architectural and artistic features of the Medici Villa Pratolino, a site realized for Francesco I de' Medici which was largely demolished in the early nineteenth century. However, while De' Vieri's 1587 text which describes the features of Pratolino, Delle Maravigliose Opere di Pratolino, d'Amore, has been mined for the material and iconographic details it provides on no-longer extant works of art and architecture, its commentary on Pratolino's automata has not been adequately recognized, neither for its unique commentary early modern technology in a transitional period which blended occult philosophy with emerging mechanical proficiency, nor for this commentary's and the automata themselves' affirmation of the identity of their Medici patron as terrestrial sovereign and divine demiurge, or in the words of one Pratolino scholar, “the mirror of the passions and virtues of a narcissistic prince.” While the conceptual unity of art history with mechanics, or properly technology, did not emerge until the late eighteenth century, the commentary of Francesco de' Vieri provides rare and valuable insights into the reception and function of such technology in the courtly milieu of the late sixteenth century. I argue that the creation of moving statues at the court of Francesco I de' Medici was a process with occult associations with ancient Greek and Egyptian traditions of binding spirit to cult statues; in Francesco I and his court's success at manipulating natural forces to bring autonomous movement- Classical philosophy's criterion for life- to inanimate statues spoke to a total mastery of the elements parallel to his terrestrial sovereignty.

Theurgy, the action of the gods during the ritual acts, a practice incorporated, in late Antiquity, by the philosophical school of Iamblichus as a techné which conducts to, considered at that time, the ultimate experience of Philosophy become like the gods (homóiosis théo) , had influenced and determined the course of the entire Neoplatonism until the end of the ancient Academy. In the work De Mysteriis, which has long been considered irrational , Iamblichus, under the pseudonym of an Egyptian priest, structures the philosophical foundations of the theurgic art, covering topics such as: oracles, possessions, prophetic dreams, divine manifestations in general. The present dissertation aims at a reassessment and rereading of the work based on recent publications of the author s collected philosophical fragments, as well as academic studies derived from them. Through a careful disentangling of the threads of his narrative, an analysis of the first three Books of the work is made, erecting the philosophical foundations of divine manifestations and of the efficacy of the ritual. It exposes thus the argumentation regarding the theurgic art, demonstrating an innovative, complex and syncretic system, nicely elaborated in a high philosophical erudition of his time. It concludes the revised reading of the first three Books and their philosophical foundations of Theurgy, in order to justify the redemption of the depreciated status of the work, pointing also to a new appraisal and repositioning of Iamblichus as a key-element author, in the history of philosophy, to the whole tradition of philosophical foundations of mystical revelations in various later philosophical currents of neoplatonic heritage, until the end of the Renaissance
Teurgia, a ação dos deuses durante os atos ritualísticos, uma prática incorporada, na Antiguidade tardia, pela escola filosófica de Jâmblico como uma techné que conduz à, então considerada, experiência última da Filosofia tornar-se como os deuses (homóiosis théo) , influenciou e determinou o rumo de todo o Neoplatonismo subsequente, até o fim da Academia antiga. Na obra De Mysteriis, que há muito vem sendo considerada irracional , Jâmblico, sob o pseudônimo de um sacerdote egípcio, estrutura os fundamentos filosóficos da arte teúrgica, abordando temas como: oráculos, possessões, sonhos proféticos, manifestações divinas em geral. A presente dissertação visa a uma revisão e releitura da obra embasada nas recentes publicações dos recolhidos fragmentos filosóficos do autor, bem como decorrentes estudos acadêmicos. Por meio de um cuidadoso desembaraçar dos fios de sua narrativa analisam-se os três primeiros Livros da obra, erigindo os fundamentos filosóficos das manifestações divinas e da eficácia do ritual. Expõe-se, assim, a argumentação referente a arte teúrgica, evidenciando um inovador, complexo e sincrético sistema, muito bem elaborado em uma alta erudição filosófica de sua época. Conclui-se a revisada leitura dos três primeiros Livros e seus fundamentos filosóficos da Teurgia, de forma a justificar a redenção do status depreciado da obra, apontando, ainda, uma nova avaliação e reposicionamento de Jâmblico como autor, na história da filosofia, elemento-chave de toda uma tradição de fundamentos filosóficos sobre revelações místicas, em diversas correntes filosóficas posteriores de herança neoplatônica, até o fim da Renascença

Full textAbstract:
L'analyse de l'interprétation proclienne de la critique de Platon envers Homère, qui se situe à l'intérieur de la «récupération» de la tradition archaïque par le néoplatonisme, est conduite sur deux niveaux herméneutiques, l'un linguistique, l'autre esthétique. La lecture du texte proclien, notamment du Commentaire du Cratyle et des Dissertations Ve et VIe du Commentaire de la République, montre parallèlement comment l'activité assimilatrice, par laquelle un homme donne des noms aux choses et un poète construit des images des dieux, rend le langage et la poésie des activités entièrement intégrées dans le système des relations analogiques qui sont à la base de la structure hiérarchique de la métaphysique proclienne. Grâce à leur nature mimétique le nom et le symbole mythique sont des éléments d'union et d'appartenance de l'humain au divin et pourtant ils peuvent être nommés «mesure du divin». La distribution du réel dans les différents niveaux de l'être permet à l'exégète néo-platonicien de décrire la production poétique comme analogue à celle démiurgique et les voiles symboliques, visiblement obscènes, comme analogues à la procession des ordres divins du Premier Dieu. C'est à partir de cette perspective que, en parfaite harmonie avec la configuration triadique et sérielle du Tout, on peut lire le schéma tripartite défini par Proclus à la fin de la sixième Dissertation comme une distinction entre trois niveaux d'activité poétique et non, comme la plus récente littérature critique a interprété, en trois types de poésieThe study of Proclean interpretation of Plato's critique to Homer, which is set in the neo-Platonic revival of archaic tradition, is conducted according to two interpretation's levels defined very well, the first one linguistic and the second one other aesthetic. The reading of the Proclean text, in particular the Commentary on the Cratylus and the V and VI Dissertations of the Commentary on the Republic, shows side by side how the assimilative activity, by which a man names things and a poet constructs images of the gods, makes language and poetry activities fully incorporated with the system of analogic relations on which is based the hierarchical structure of Proclean metaphysics. Through their mimetic nature, the name and the mythical symbol are elements of union and tie of the men to the divine and so they can be said «proportion of the divine». The distribution of the real on different levels of the being allows the neo-Platonic exegete to describe the poetic production as an analogous to the demiurgical one and therefore the symbolic veils, visibly obscene, as an analogous to the procession of the divine orders from the First God. It is from this perspective that, in a perfect agreement with the triadic and serial configuration of the Whole, we can read the tripartite schema defined by Proclus at the end of the Sixth Dissertation as a distinction among three levels of poetic activity and not, such as required by the most recent critical literature, in three types of poetry

Knežević, Romilo. "Homo theurgos : freedom according to John Zizioulas and Nikolai Berdyaev." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2016. https://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:089576a0-a649-43ba-9055-86474e4f0964.
Full textAbstract:
For both John Zizioulas (1931), prominent Greek theologian, and Nikolai Berdyaev (1874-1948), renowned Russian religious philosopher, freedom is the question of ontology, i.e., freedom is about absolute otherness. Since to be is to act, and because to act means to create, we are only as long as we are capable of creating a radically unique reality. Being unique, our creation appears to every other person, including God, as a new reality. However, theistic theology claims that God added nothing to Himself by the creation of the world. Since according to this scenario human person cannot add anything to Being, we cannot speak about her ontological freedom. The doctrine of the divine image seems to be incompatible with the theistic concept of the divine omnipotence. Inquiry into the human freedom is therefore inevitably intertwined with the question of how God is God. Zizioulas's concept of the divine omnipotence does not envisage a space of freedom that God provides for human person from which she could create surplus in being. The French philosopher Etienne Gilson is therefore right when he writes that 'homo faber can never become homo creator because, having only a received being he cannot produce what he himself is not.' Berdyaev on the other hand locates the origin of our being in the Bottomless freedom or the Ungrund. The Bottomless freedom is Godhead from which both freedom of the divine Persons and that of the human person originate. Berdyaev explains that person can never create another person (something that is possible only for God). However, because person in spite of being created is not causally determined by the Creator, she can create her radically unique reality and thus realize her ontological freedom. Clearly, homo faber can never become homo creator (creator of other personalities), but this does not preclude person's power to create surplus in being and to be homo theurgos.

Full textAbstract:
Notre thèse porte sur les In Platonis Phaedrum Scholia d’Hermias d’Alexandrie, c’est-à-dire sur le seul commentaire ancien sur le Phèdre de Platon qui a survécu de l’Antiquité jusqu’à nous. Rédigé dans la première moitié du Ve siècle après J. C., ce commentaire se compose de trois livres. Nous avons étudié soigneusement le premier livre dont nous offrons la première traduction en langue italienne, accompagnée de notes critiques et commentaires. Notre travail se compose de trois parties. Dans la première partie de notre thèse, nous dressons un tableau précis du contexte à la fois historique et philosophique dans lequel se situe la figure d’Hermias d’Alexandrie, professeur de philosophie platonicienne à Alexandrie entre le 435 et le 455 après J. C. environ. Une attention toute particulière est accordée au problème de la véritable paternité du Commentaire, que la communis opinio attribue à Syrianos, maitre d’Hermias, plutôt qu’à Hermias lui-même. Nous essayons de remettre en cause cette thèse en soutenant, au contraire, qu’Hermias doit être considéré comme le véritable auteur du Commentaire. Dans la seconde partie de la thèse, nous offrons une véritable monographie sur la figure de Socrate chez Hermias, tout en proposant une comparaison entre Socrate et le Christ arien, Hermias et le Patriarche Cyrille d’Alexandrie. Après cette monographie, nous avons abordé d’autres questions ressortissantes de l’analyse du premier livre du Commentaire : rhétorique, herméneutique, mythologie, physique, gnoséologie. La troisième et dernière partie consiste dans la traduction en italien du premier livre du Commentaire sur le Phèdre, avec notes et commentairesOur thesis deals with the In Platonis Phaedrum Scholia of Hermias of Alexandria, that is, the only ancient commentary on Plato’s Phaedrus that has survived from antiquity to our time. Written in the first half of the 5th century AD, this commentary consists of three books. We have carefully studied the first book of which we provide the first translation into Italian, accompanied by critical notes and comments. Our work consists of three parts. In the first part of our thesis, we provide a precise picture of the historical and philosophical context in which the figure of Hermias of Alexandria, professor of Platonic philosophy in Alexandria between 435 and 455 AD, is situated. Particular attention is paid to the problem of the true authorship of the Commentary, which the communis opinio attributes to Syrianus, master of Hermias, rather than to Hermias himself. We try to challenge this thesis by arguing, on the contrary, that Hermias must be seen as the real author of the Commentary. In the second part of the thesis, we offer an authentic monograph on the figure of Socrates in Hermias, enriched by a comparison between Socrates and the Arian Christ, Hermias and the Patriarch Cyril of Alexandria. After this monograph, we tackled other questions arising from the analysis of the first book of the Commentary: rhetoric, hermeneutics, mythology, physics, epistemology. The third and last part of our thesis consists of the translation into Italian of the first book of the Commentary on the Phaedrus, with notes and commentaries

Curran, Martin H. "The Immaterial Theurgy of Boethius." 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/10222/15405.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an attempt to understand the efficacy of prayer in Boethius’ 'Consolation of Philosophy.' Prayer is man’s commercium with the divine realm, and so prayer is higher than human thought. The highest stage of prayer in the Consolation is similar to that in Iamblichus’ 'De Mysteriis': man becomes aware of his own deficiency compared to the divine and so turns to prayer. Lower prayers are also effective because they are both immaterial theurgy and spiritual exercises. The circles throughout the work are a crucial instance of these prayers. They constantly purify the Prisoner’s soul of false notions, and restore it to its true state. They lead the Prisoner to discover that his activity of thinking is a form of theurgy. The Consolation reveals that in the life of philosophy there is a mutual interdependence between thought, prayer and theurgy.

Elis, Martin Šachar. "Chaldejská orákula v dějinném kontextu pozdní antiky." Master's thesis, 2017. http://www.nusl.cz/ntk/nusl-369908.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis deals with late antiquity literary work, dating probably from second half of 2nd century CE, known as Chaldaean Oracles. These are written in Greek and preserved only in fragments. It's content is a philosophical and religious system, which fuses together middle-platonic philosophy and oriental religious traditions The aim of this thesis is to present doctrine of the literary work in question as well as the associated ritual practice (called theurgy) and then to analyze this system and compare it with similar movements, especially with Hermetism and Gnosticism. To achive this, I use the methodology of R. Chlup, based on the concept of so called "wordlviews". These are implicit assumptions and choices in ideological systems. I then try to connect the Chaldaean wordlview with it's supposed social context. The result of this analysis is that the image of the world in the Chaldaean Oracles is considerably positive, with the emphasis on the unity of all. It thus constitutues an antipole of certain sort to the largely negative and dualistic Gnosticism, with which it shares similar metaphysical concepts. The supplement of this thesis contains the Greek original of extant fragments together with author's original Czech translation. Key words: Chaldaean Oracles, theurgy, late antiquity, worldview

Dr. Jan Kefer (1906-1941) found the juncture between cabala and theurgy in the theory of sefirotic tree and the mutual influence between the worlds of spirit and matter.

Full textAbstract:
Proclus is part of a long exegetical tradition that understands Plato and Homer to be in agreement. The Sixth Essay of his Commentary on Plato’s Republic particularly significant because it is the only extant ancient text that attempts to prove the concord of Plato and Homer philosophically. Yet, despite his uniquely reasoned approach, this endeavour suffers from charges of irrationalism. The necessity that drives him to seek this conciliation is thought to come from the pious attachment he has to Homer as an authority rather than the properly philosophical demands of his rational system. The aim of this thesis is to show that Proclus’ need to show Plato and Homer’s agreement is not an irrational adjunct to an otherwise rational outlook, but that it follows from the central doctrines of his philosophy. This will be accomplished through a detailed consideration of Proclus’ doctrine of the poetic ????????. In looking at how Proclus’ reading of Plato in the Sixth Essay is informed by his understanding of ????????, we will see how Homer becomes the means, both of taking the traditional criticisms of Plato’s apparent self-contradiction seriously and also of defending him against them. In looking in turn at how the soul actually experiences the ??????? of Homer’s inspired poetry, it shall become apparent that Homer does not just save the coherence of rational thought in this exterior way, but that his poetry operates as both the possibility and perfection of the rational soul’s various powers.

Full textAbstract:
Η παρούσα μεταπτυχιακή διατριβή έχει ως στόχο να μελετήσει την έννοια του σωκρατικού δαιμονίου όπως αυτή εκφράστηκε κυρίως στον φιλόσοφο Πρόκλο, καθώς επίσης να εντοπίσει το περιεχόμενο, την έκταση και τις προθέσεις αλλά και τους μεθοδολογικούς τρόπους με τους οποίους ο ίδιος ο νεοπλατωνικός σχολάρχης θεωρούσε ότι έπρεπε να προσεγγισθεί η παιδαγωγική σχέση ανάμεσα στον Σωκράτη και στον Αλκιβιάδη, ώστε να κατανοηθεί το βαθύτερο περιεχόμενό της. Ως κείμενο αναφοράς και ανάλυσης έχουμε το υπόμνημα του Σχολάρχη της Ακαδημίας: Εἰς τὸν Πλάτωνος πρῶτον Ἀλκιβιάδην , 85.19-93.28, σ’ ένα εδάφιο του πλατωνικού διαλόγου Αλκιβιάδης Ι (103 a-b), στο οποίο παρουσιάζεται η αφετηρία της επικοινωνίας ανάμεσα στον Σωκράτη και τον Αλκιβιάδη, η επικοινωνιακή σχέση δηλαδή μεταξύ δασκάλου – μαθητή, η οποία τροφοδοτείται επαναληπτικά και από την θεϊκή έμπνευση του Σωκράτη, από το σωκρατικό δαιμόνιο. Στο πρώτο κεφάλαιο της εργασίας μας επιχειρούμε μια αναδρομική έρευνα στην έννοια του σωκρατικού δαιμονίου όπως αυτή εμφανίστηκε στην σύγχρονη ιστορία – πορεία της φιλοσοφικής έρευνας. Στο δεύτερο κεφάλαιο γίνεται μια σύντομη εισαγωγή στον πλατωνικό διάλογο Αλκιβιάδης Ι και στο υπόμνημα του Πρόκλου Εἰς τὸν Πλάτωνος πρῶτον Ἀλκιβιάδην αναδεικνύοντας το συνθετικό φιλοσοφικό εγχείρημα του νεοπλατωνικού φιλοσόφου. Στο τρίτο κεφάλαιο γίνεται μία απόπειρα σχολιασμού ενός ευσύνοπτου τμήματος του υπομνήματος του Πρόκλου, με κύριο στόχο να δοθούν απαντήσεις στις «κατηγορίες» που απέδιδαν ορισμένοι στην θεία αυτή έμπνευση του Σωκράτη ως προς την διαφθορά του νεαρού Αλκιβιάδη. Στην συνέχεια, επιχειρήσαμε να οδηγηθούμε σε ορισμένα συμπεράσματα (καταρρίπτοντας τις κατηγορίες), καθώς επίσης έγινε μία προσπάθεια καταγραφής των εννοιών που συναντήσαμε. Προχωρήσαμε επίσης στην σύνταξη ενός ευσύνοπτου φιλοσοφικού λεξικού των εννοιών που χρησιμοποίησε ο νεοπλατωνικός φιλόσοφος στην προσπάθειά του να αναδείξει την θεϊκή αυτή έμπνευση του Σωκράτη ως μία δύναμη αγαθή και προνοητική με «προβλεπτικό» και «γνωστικό» χαρακτήρα, που κατ’ επέκταση καθιστά την σχέση διδασκάλου – μαθητή παιδαγωγικώς και προσωπικώς αναγκαία και θείων προδιαγραφών. Η εν λόγω εργασία ανήκει κυρίως στους θεωρητικούς κλάδους της φιλοσοφίας της θρησκείας και της μεταφυσικής, αλλά και συγχρόνως εντάσσεται στην ιστορία της φιλοσοφίας, καθότι παρουσιάζει ένα στάδιο της εξέλιξης μιας θεωρίας που αναπτύχθηκε τον 4ο αιώνα π.Χ.The main aim of this M.A dissertation is to explore the sense of the daimonion of Socrates as it was mainly examined by the philosopher Proclus. We will try to identify the content, scope and intentions, but also the methodology by means of which the Neoplatonist scholarch himself approached the pedagogical relationship between Socrates and Alcibiades, in order to understand its deeper content. Our textual source is Proclus' Commentary on Plato's Alcibiades I, 85.19-93.28, which refers to Alcibiades I, 103 a-b. This is the starting point of communication between Socrates and Alcibiades, that is to say the communicative relationship between the teacher and the student, the content of which is repeatedly defined by the divine inspiration of Socrates, the Socratic daimonion. In the first chapter of our study, we attempt a retrospective research on the concept of Socrates’ daimonion as it appeared in the frame of modern philosophical research. The second chapter is a brief introduction to the Platonic dialogue Alcibiades I and to Proclus’ Commentary on Plato's Alcibiades I, highlighting the synthesis which is evident in the philosophical project of the Neoplatonist philosopher. The third chapter is an attempt to analyze a brief part of Proclus' commentary, aiming to provide answers to "accusations" attributed by some against Socrates’ divine inspiration with reference to the corruption of the young Alcibiades. We also attempt to describe the relevant concepts and reach some conclusions after the refutation of these accusations. We also proceed to a compilation of a concise philosophical dictionary of concepts-terms used by the Neoplatonist philosopher in his attempt to prove the divine inspiration of Socrates to be both a good and providential power with the possibility to acquire foreknowledge. This in turn makes the relationship between the teacher and the student pedagogically and personally necessary and gives it divine properties. The dissertation belongs to philosophy of religion, metaphysics, and history of philosophy, as well, since it examines a stage in the evolution of a theory developed in the 4th century B.C.
