Some months ago a few people reacted quite strongly to a claim I made about a paper "Weighing and Measuring the Gods". The document, presently on hold, is...
Viewed some years ago. Thanks for the reminder. Now book marked for future retrieval. Interesting to watch again in light to 'evolved' perspective that...

Does anyone know of any good articles on Hegel and Cousin, or on Hegel's reading of Neoplatonism? A student wants to pursue this topic. thanks, sara...
I am doing some research on Philoponus now, and I am trying to get access to Philoponus commentary/scholia on Nicomachus' Introductiont to Arithmetic. I cannot...
Thanks very much, I think I also figured out their website now - you have to email them first to get the international shipping charges, then enter the order...
Dennis, Rosan in his "The Philosophy of Proclus - The Phinal Phase of Ancient thought" assigns this Commentary to Proclus. Is this still being accepted by...
Sorry, I missed seeing this til now. I need to read all of Rosan, now that we have him again, as I didn't know he addressed this commentary, thanks for...
... I meant to respond to this and of course forgot. I was mostly thinking about the period before the full-blown "reintroduction" of Aristotle, and didn't...
... I took a quick look at Rosan, and he is attributing the commentary to Proclus on the basis of Tannery's work back in the 19th century, and of course Rosan...
... Just curious, has anyone successfully ordered from this site? I sent an email some time back now with the order info so they could supply the shipping...
This may be a bit obscure, but I will throw it out to the group. In the course of my current research, I have encountered the notion put forward by Philoponus...
This is a fascinating question Dennis; thank you for sharing this sticky point in your research with the list. So, in your paragraph copied here, you have come...
Hi, This might interest some here, especially the 'A Journey to the Hypercosmic side of the Sun by Prof Ezio Albrile' ... Mithras Reader: An Academic and...
Hi Dennis, I noted this comment in your post: I am of course aware of the early Pythagorean and Academic concepts of the Monad and Dyad/Plethos as principles,...
Hate to be a party-pooper, but I would suggest a simpler explanation for why the one/monad is not a number : the one/monad is the *source* of number, and...
An edifying discussion everyone! In response to Greg Shaw: I have recently been wondering about how the ontological status of number relates to this discursive...
Excellent, Mike!! Thanks so much for the Philoponus citation. I've lurked on this thread because I didn't have the answer to the original question; ...
Not a party-dampener at all Mike; beautifully erudite as always! So, like the Neoplatonist Simplicius, the Renaissance Neoplatonists followed the idea, which...
sorry about the missing reference that Pico quote is from *Heptaplus*, translated by Douglas Carmichael, in *On the Dignity of Man*(Indianapolis: The...
Interesting post in that I've long pondered the potential association of the words "angel" and "angle"; that angel might be construed as metaphor intermediate...
"Discounting atheism, how can many gods not be conceived given the forms and the logoi?" Well, that's easy for Pico. Following Dionysius he thinks of all the...

Conplatonici, On 3 as number and angels/demons as planes etc etc in Renaissance, see (my) Michael J. B. Allen, Nuptial Arithmetic: Marsilio Ficino's Commentary...
But, per Plotinus, one AND two, together, would seem to be the basis of everything, including number, and from that basis three would be the first number....
Excellent!! Thanks for the clarification. I had assumed the presence of constraint from context. And with that, letting it go. In a message dated 9/20/2010...
Hi Greg, Considering 1 and 2 as principles, I sometimes compare the theological construct of Coincidence of Opposites with the binary code of Computational...
Very cool, Kathryn, as this thread has effectively evaporated my mundane day. M-Theory came to mind here with its suggestive pattern of three dyads (in a...
David, I don't know if/how this fits but I thought you might be interested in this footnote from Dionysius the Areopagite and the Neoplatonist tradition, Sarah...
Somewhere, in Kramer?, the argument is made one and two are the principles of being (and beyond being) in Plato's unwritten doctrine just as form and matter...
Thanks, John. Much appreciated. Currently reading PT, II, and now looking forward to V.34. I believe the note is consistent with Plotinus. The ideas are...
