Meer over het boek
The book explores the theurgic practices of Iamblichus' Platonism, challenging the prevailing dualist interpretation. It posits that rather than transcending their physical forms to connect with the divine, these Platonists invited the gods into their bodies. By drawing parallels with Tantric traditions of embodied deification, Gregory Shaw illuminates the dynamic and influential nature of late Platonic thought, presenting a vibrant and often overlooked aspect of Platonism that emphasizes the integration of the divine within the human experience.
