Theophany: The Neoplatonic Philosophy of Dionysius the Areopagite (Suny Series in Ancient Greek Philosophy) - Tapa blanda

Críticas

"...[a] stimulating book ... Perl's advocacy of Dionysian philosophy as a basis for Christian theology is full of challenges for anyone interested in the fate of ancient Greek philosophy and Christianity's encounter with it." -- American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly

"This is, in many ways, the book for which teachers in the field have been waiting: a book that clearly and fully sets out the philosophical logic in Dionysius in a way accessible to undergraduate students and yet tackles the most vexed and controverted questions so strongly as to make it a necessity for graduate students and scholars in the field. Eric Perl has produced a remarkable unification of philosophy and accurate historical scholarship, something very rare." -- Wayne J. Hankey, author of One Hundred Years of Neoplatonism in France: A Brief Philosophical History

"Dionysius is an extremely important Christian Platonist in his own right and also for the enormous impact he had on medieval philosophy. Getting his metaphysics right is essential, and Perl has done an outstanding job articulating his philosophical genius." -- John Bussanich, author of The One and Its Relation to Intellect in Plotinus: A Commentary on Selected Texts
