Nicholas Banner is a classical researcher concentrating on ancient philosophy and religion. He is especially interested in Platonisms, in the limits of thought and language, and in the problems of being and consciousness (and the points at which these problems overlap). He writes popular books on academic subjects. His interest in Platonism informs a number of musical projects including an old-time country band and electronic bass music and spoken word performances.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Plotinus, the greatest philosopher of Late Antiquity, discusses at length a first principle of reality - the One - which, he tells us, cannot be expressed in words or grasped in thought. How and why, then, does Plotinus write about it at all? This book explores this act of writing the unwritable. Seeking to explain what seems to be an insoluble paradox in the very practice of late Platonist writing, it examines not only the philosophical concerns involved, but the cultural and rhetorical aspects of the question. The discussion outlines an ancient practice of philosophical silence' which determined the themes and tropes of public secrecy appropriate to Late Platonist philosophy. Through philosophic silence, public secrecy and silence flow into one another, and the unsaid space of the text becomes an initiatory secret. Understanding this mode of discourse allows us to resolve many apparent contradictions in Plotinus' thought. Plotinus, the greatest philosopher of Late Antiquity, discusses at length a first principle of reality - the One - which, he tells us, cannot be expressed in words or grasped by thought. This book explores this act of writing the unwritable. It will interest students of Platonism and mysticism.
