Explore tips, opinions, and features on Theurgy in Late Antiquity The sold at 130.49 $ ; this product is listed in the Books & Magazines category, produced by , and sold by Abebooks.com.
Theurgy is commonly taken to denote a complex of rites which are based on the socalled Chaldean Oracles a collection of oracles in hexameters which were probably composed during the late 2nd century AD These rituals are mostly known through Neoplatonic sources who engage in a passionate debate about their relevance to the salvation of the soul and thus to the philosophers ultimate goal Ilinca TanaseanuDobler examines the development of the discourse on theurgy attempting to reconstruct what was understood as theurgic ritual in the late antique sources Withstanding the temptation to impose a unity on the disparate sources which span several centuries she thus goes beyond the picture of a coherent extraphilosophical tradition drawn by the Neoplatonists to sketch the variations in the rituals subsumed under theurgy and their function and shows how every author constructs his own theurgy This perspective leads to consider theurgy as an example of an artificial ritual tradition composed from already existing elements to create something claimed as sui generis Theurgy offers the great opportunity to look at such a tradition from its beginning up to its end and to analyse the mechanisms of inventing and reinventing such a ritual tradition in process

The dictionary definition of tradition refers to beliefs and practices that have been transmitted from generation to generation however tradition can rest simply on the claim that certain cultural elements are rooted in the past Claim and documented historical reality need not overlap In the domain of religion historically verifiable traditions coexist with recent innovations whose origins are spuriously projected back into time This book examines the phenomenon of invented traditions in religions ranging in time from Zoroastrianism to Scientology and geographically from Tibet to North America and Europe The various contributions together with an introduction that surveys the field use individual case studies to address questions such as the rationale for creating historical tradition for ones doctrines and rituals the mechanisms by which hitherto unknown texts can enter an existing corpus and issues of acceptance and scepticism in the reception of dubious texts

Examining the figure of Aesop and the traditions surrounding him Aesopic Conversations offers a portrait of what Greek popular culture might have looked like in the ancient world What has survived from the literary record of antiquity is almost entirely the product of an elite of birth wealth and education limiting our access to a fuller range of voices from the ancient past This book however explores the anonymous Life of Aesop and offers a different set of perspectives Leslie Kurke argues that the traditions surrounding this strange text when read with and against the works of Greek high culture allow us to reconstruct an ongoing conversation of great and little traditions spanning centuries Evidence going back to the fifth century BCE suggests that Aesop participated in the practices of nonphilosophical wisdom sophia while challenging it from below and Kurke traces Aesops double relation to this wisdom tradition She also looks at the hidden influence of Aesop in early Greek mimetic or narrative prose writings focusing particularly on the Socratic dialogues of Plato and the Histories of Herodotus Challenging conventional accounts of the invention of Greek prose and recognizing the problematic sociopolitics of humble prose fable Kurke provides a new approach to the beginnings of prose narrative and what would ultimately become the novel Delving into Aesop his adventures and his crafting of fables Aesopic Conversations shows how this low noncanonical figure wasunexpectedlycentral to the construction of ancient Greek literature
