Revision of author's thesis (doctoral)--King's College London, 2014, titled Neoplatonic love : the metaphysics of Eros in Plotinus, Proclus and the Pseudo-Dionysius.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Plotinus and Enneads III.5.(50) : 'On love' -- Proclus on the First Alcibiades -- Dionysius and the divine names.
"Speaking to vital scholarship in ancient philosophy, including contemporary Greek academia, Dimitrios A. Vasilakis examines the notion of Love (Eros) in the key texts of Neoplatonic philosophers; Plotinus, Proclus, and the Church Father, Dionysius the Areopagite. The book outlines the crucial interplay between Plotinus, Proclus, and Dionysius' ideas on love and hierarchy in relation to both the earthly and the divine. Through analysing key texts from each philosopher, this enlightening study traces a clear historical line between pagan Neoplatonism and early Christian philosophy"-- Provided by publisher.
