Description

This volume examines certain transformations associated with the concept of theurgy in late ancient Neoplatonism. Theurgy is understood above all as the search for immanent media to embody divine powers. It implies a fundamentally positive relationship to corporeality, the world of the senses, and matter, and is thus more about integrating corporeal layers of reality than about escaping the world.
