Neoplatonism:
“the intellectualist reply to the … yearning for personal salvation.” (Frederick Copleston, A History of Philosophy, p. 216)
I like this
definition a lot. A lot. Know just the bare
skeletal framework of Neoplatonism, this mystical philosophy that thrived for
about three centuries (c. 250-550 AD), but figured I should bone up on it since
it seems to play such a big part of The
Exegesis of Phillip K. Dick, the mammoth tome I’ve now sunk my teeth in.
I’m keeping
notes so anything supra-revelatory or chill-inducing I’ll post here under weirdities.
