In his final book, renowned philosopher Pierre Hadot explores Goethe’s relationship with ancient spiritual exercises—transformative acts of intellect, imagination, or will. Goethe sought both an intense experience of the present moment as well as a kind of cosmic consciousness, both of which are rooted in ancient philosophical practices. These prac...
In this article we investigate the place of Orpheus and of music in Proclus’ works, more specifically in Platonic Theologyand analyze how the mythical musician is devoid of his epic-musical feats, characteristic of the representations about him, found in ancient mythology. In the Proclean text, he is represented as a theologian, guardian of the ini...
Cet article cherche à montrer qu’une métaphysique s’engendre au sein même de l’orphisme, par l’auto-exégèse du mythe, métaphysique qui irriguera le platonisme et le néo-platonisme. Elle se place sous la figure d’un personnage conceptuel, Dionysos, depuis lequel se pensent les rapports de l’Un et du multiplie et par conséquent aussi, la façon dont l...

Previous scholars have studied the work of the Delaunays primarily within the context of isolated movements and geographical confines. This approach ha...

The interpretation is embedded in the context of the Orphic doctrine and Orphic mystery cults. It refers also to the significant role of music – not only in the nineteenthcentury literature but also in...

In our terms, he considers the poem an encoded text that he needs to decode in order to recover its true meaning. So he had to imagine a code in the text that once ‘decoded’ would yield the ‘true’ meaning tha...
