商品簡介
Edwards (patristics, Oxford U.) examines four third-century Romans who would have called themselves philosophers--Plotinus, Longinus, Porphyry, and Iamblichus--and the cultural and intellectual milieu in which they wrote. He is not so concerned with the elements of their philosophy itself, but does summarize parts where necessary to his description of the Platonic tradition, literature and dogma, magic and occult sciences, and other features of the time.
