Description

This text provides a study of Iamblichus of Syria, a 4th century Platonist philosopher whose teachings set the final form of pagan spirituality prior to the Christianisation of the Roman Empire. It focuses on the theory and practice of theurgy, a significant form of Iamblichus's Platonism.
