Neoplatonic Virtue: From Purification to Contemplation in the Life of Proclus
In this session, Antonio-Luis Costa-Vargas and Yitzchok Lowy continue their reading of The Life of Proclus, reaching the transition from the purifying to the contemplative virtues.
We revisit the figure of Proclus as “hierophant of the whole world,” examine the role of prayer and hymnody in philosophical life, and trace how purification prepares the soul for contemplation and union with divine intellect.
