{"product_id":"henosis-9789004106567","title":"Henosis","description":"In the first part of this study, the theme of the union (\u003ci\u003ehenosis\u003c\/i\u003e) is analysed in Dionysius the Areopagite's \u003ci\u003eDe Divinis Nominibus\u003c\/i\u003e. The starting point of this inquiry is the trinitarian theology of Dionysius. He distinguishes between Union (\u003ci\u003ehenosis\u003c\/i\u003e) and distinction (\u003ci\u003ediakrisis\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003ead intra\u003c\/i\u003e of the divine Persons and \u003ci\u003ead extra\u003c\/i\u003e of the divines names, understood as powers. The movement of procession and conversion of the divine names follows the very structure of the treatise: from the Union to the One, a movement called \"the circle of love\". In a second moment, the word \u003ci\u003ehenosis\u003c\/i\u003e or the formula \u003ci\u003ehenosis hyper noun\u003c\/i\u003e, \"union above the intellect\", are analysed in the \u003ci\u003eDe divinis nominibus\u003c\/i\u003e, where they allude to the \"union without confusion\" of the ideas one with the other, or to the union of intellect with God in the unknowledge.\u003cbr\u003eThe second part is dedicated to the union with God in the \u003ci\u003eDe Mystica Theologia\u003c\/i\u003e. The author first studies Moses' ascension and his entrance in the Darkness within the tradition of the commentaries of \u003ci\u003eExodus\u003c\/i\u003e, such as Philo's or Gregory of Nyssa's treatises \u003ci\u003eDe Vita Mosis\u003c\/i\u003e; she analyses the progress of negative theology towards the mystical union and she tries to identify the \"unknown God\" with whom the intellect becomes unified in the neoplatonician theory and also in the context of Paul's discourse on the Areopage. She concludes with an examination of the \u003ci\u003eunio mystica\u003c\/i\u003e and its major features in Pseudo-Dionysius.","brand":"Ysabel de Andia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48268746785019,"sku":"9789004106567","price":386.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_d379e73a-366a-44de-810b-05f803b6146b.jpg?v=1770939688","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/henosis-9789004106567","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
