Vervaeke's MEANING CRISIS #18 | Plotinus and Neoplatonism

[@rickmcentee9204]

First time listener. Masters in philosophy/theology. Former priest. Dig the thoughtful conversation... Totally agree that both ends need each other. To my mind it's the folks who can value both sides that need to try to help the outliers see that.👍🏆💛

Thanks so much for tuning in and the thoughtful and kind comment. Glad you enjoyed listening to us think through these ideas, always hope we're providing value and food for thought!!

This is very interesting to me... A good conversation. How ever it appear to me that the classification of PLOTINUS under Gnosticism is problematic. As he writes against the idea of 'out of nothing and a blind will' of the Gnostics. Morover, Proclus who follows him has a very excellent intellectual edifice; Jupiter - the super-cosmic living intelligent imagination; the principle of Jupiter is indeed Being itself. Being comprehends all forms within itself. But forms in this theology is angelic intelligence and are not abstractions from posterior ideas There is an awful silence about this.

5:41 You lost me there completely. Regarding the Bible as false and made-up drivel is now antisemitic?

He was sarcastically trying to show how a thought process can go astray, and thereby move from a reasonable starting place to an unreasonable conspiracy conclusion.
