Platonic Gnosis, the Curriculum of Iamblichus & the Mystical Experience Beyond Reason w. Eric Orwoll
In S4E13 - the ARCANVM S4 finale - I sit down with with philosopher, Platonist, and content creator Eric Orwoll. Eric's work in dialogue with various collaborators has positioned him as an outstanding voice in the study of Platonism. Specifically, his work in reviewing the Iamblichean curriculum of the Platonic dialogues, Proclus’ Elements of Theology, and the dissertations and essays of Thomas Taylor on the various aspects of Platonism and Neoplatonism are among what I consider to be the most important influences in my own work.
