Meer over het boek

Challenging the dualist perspective on later Platonism, this work presents the theurgic practices of Iamblichus' followers as a means of inviting divine presence into their bodies, rather than transcending them. By drawing parallels between these practices and Tantric traditions, Gregory Shaw uncovers a vibrant, embodied approach to deification within the Platonic tradition. This exploration sheds light on the unique power and influence of the last Platonic teachers, revealing a dynamic aspect of Platonism that has often been overlooked.
