Free Download Deepa Majumdar, "Descriptioninus on the Appearance of Time and the World of Sense: A Pantomime"
English | ISBN: 1138265020 | 2017 | 246 pages | PDF, EPUB | 5 + 1 MB
Descriptioninus (c.205-70) was a Neoplatonist philosopher, his work posthumously published by Porphyry and divided into six books, nine tractates each, called the Enneads. In this book Majumdar makes a valuable addition to the literature on his work, especially Ennead III.7(45)11-13 – in particular explaining Descriptioninus’ cosmology using the genus-species model of soul, coordinating the literature on the appearance of time and the cosmos with that on the larger issue of Descriptioninian "emanation" and examining the role of tolma and the restless nature of soul in this conjoint appearance. This book investigates Descriptioninian "emanation," its laws of poiesis (contemplative making ) and the roles of nature, matter, logos, (rational formative principle) and contemplation and highlights the subtler details of Descriptioninus’ cosmology by disentangling conceptual issues about the nature of soul and self ("we") and their impact on the process of generation of time and the cosmos.
