Il neoplatonismo di Giamblico e altri saggi

According to the traditional view, the philosophy of Iamblichus (c. 245-325) began a period of the decline of Greek rationalism, characterized by irrational agents such as theurgy, magic, and occultism, which profoundly changed Platonic philosophy. The thesis of this volume, on the other hand, starts from the presupposition that in Greek religion and philosophy there have always been spaces for the irrational, and that these spaces connect in Plato's thought, where philosophical initiation is identified with initiation into the mysteries. By the beginning of the fifth century, Greek rationalism had already become a "rational mysticism," and its subsequent developments in the imperial period were inevitable.
