The Role of Statues in Theology

Anne: A lot of what we would think of as artworks from ancient culture were actually religious artifacts for example statues that they might put up in temples so um Proclus I was interesting to think about what Proclus would say about that because on the one hand since he's a neo-platonist he's not a big fan of the physical world physically but on the other hand he must think that these statues would be yet another way of bringing us back to the divine. Anne: One of the frustrating things possibly frustrating things about theologies you get lots of theory you get very little of actually how to do it. next time i'm doing another interview on neoplatonism with Dominic
