Paperback. Nicola Bizzi never ceases to amaze us with his volcanic literary production, displaying a rare ability to range from the secrets and enigms of History to the summits of Philosophy.This time, he has decided to try his hand at a maieutic-philosophical dialogue on the Platonic model, in order to expose in dialectical form fundamental concepts present in some of his essays, including From Darkness to Light. Getting Out of Plato's Cave and Becoming Conscious and One Single Primordial Tradition? And, to do so, he has made use of the figures of Hylas and Philonous, two characters who should be well known to scholars of Philosophy, as they are the protagonists of some of the main philosophical dialogues of George Berkeley.The text you are about to read and meditate upon is not intended to be a simple intellectual exercise, let alone a mere academic imitation of classic eighteenth-century or Platonic models. It is, on the contrary, an authentic theoretical and militant manifesto, a philosophical thunderbolt hurled into the heart of that spiritual conformism which, for millennia, has anesthetized the consciences of the West. Through the voices of Hylas-the embodiment of the educated man who is nonetheless still a prisoner of dominant narratives and syncretistic seductions-and Philonous-the guardian of initiatory memory and logic-the dialogue confronts head-on the crucial knot of ancient Wisdom, tearing away the veil of that "mirage" known as the single Primordial Tradition.The central core from which the dissertation unfolds is the radical critique, conducted from an exquisitely Eleusinian and Mystery perspective, of the twentieth-century Traditionalism of Rene Guenon, Frithjof Schuon, and Raphael. Philonous unmasks with geometric lucidity the perspective error inherent in wanting at all costs to trace the infinite richness of the manifest world back to a static and undifferentiated Principle.The Author launches a frontal attack against that pernicious, entirely Greek tendency to want to reduce everything to the One, and the hollow aspiration toward violent reunification with such an Entity.According to Nicola Bizzi's thought, at the very moment when this hypothetical Primary Unity gave origin to the cosmos and generated, by emanation, its own hypostases (from which the Gods derived), it irreversibly fragmented, thereby ceasing to be One and resolving/dissolving metaphysically into the multiplicity of divine forms.The claim of a transcendent unity of religions is also masterfully addressed by the Author and identified as a legacy of the relativistic tendencies of late antiquity and Renaissance Hermetism-visions completely foreign to the original purity of the Mysteries, particularly the Eleusinian ones.From this metaphysical error, as the course of the dialogue demonstrates, sprang the triumph of monotheisms, described as actual counter-initiatory instruments of submission and social control.Liberation, as Nicola Bizzi explains to us, does not occur through faith or submission, but through two fundamental instruments of the awakened mind: Maieutics and the Noos. And it is precisely the activation of the Noos that allows one to pierce the darkness of the cave and rediscover the immortal essence that the sons of the Titan Iapetus originally infused into humanity.

This time, he has decided to try his hand at a maieutic-philosophical dialogue on the Platonic model, in order to expose in dialectical form fundamental concepts present in some of his essays, including From Darkness to Light. Getting Out of Plato’s Cave and Becoming Conscious and One Single Primordial Tradition?. And, to do so, he has made use of the figures of Hylas and Philonous, two characters who should be well known to scholars of Philosophy, as they are the protagonists of some of the main philosophical dialogues of George Berkeley.
The text you are about to read and meditate upon is not intended to be a simple intellectual exercise, let alone a mere academic imitation of classic eighteenth-century or Platonic models. It is, on the contrary, an authentic theoretical and militant manifesto, a philosophical thunderbolt hurled into the heart of that spiritual conformism which, for millennia, has anesthetized the consciences of the West. Through the voices of Hylas—the embodiment of the educated man who is nonetheless still a prisoner of dominant narratives and syncretistic seductions—and Philonous—the guardian of initiatory memory and logic—the dialogue confronts head-on the crucial knot of ancient Wisdom, tearing away the veil of that “mirage” known as the single Primordial Tradition.
The central core from which the dissertation unfolds is the radical critique, conducted from an exquisitely Eleusinian and Mystery perspective, of the twentieth-century Traditionalism of René Guénon, Frithjof Schuon, and Raphael. Philonous unmasks with geometric lucidity the perspective error inherent in wanting at all costs to trace the infinite richness of the manifest world back to a static and undifferentiated Principle.
The Author launches a frontal attack against that pernicious, entirely Greek tendency to want to reduce everything to the One, and the hollow aspiration toward violent reunification with such an Entity.
According to Nicola Bizzi’s thought, at the very moment when this hypothetical Primary Unity gave origin to the cosmos and generated, by emanation, its own hypostases (from which the Gods derived), it irreversibly fragmented, thereby ceasing to be One and resolving/dissolving metaphysically into the multiplicity of divine forms.
The claim of a transcendent unity of religions is also masterfully addressed by the Author and identified as a legacy of the relativistic tendencies of late antiquity and Renaissance Hermetism—visions completely foreign to the original purity of the Mysteries, particularly the Eleusinian ones.
From this metaphysical error, as the course of the dialogue demonstrates, sprang the triumph of monotheisms, described as actual counter-initiatory instruments of submission and social control.
Liberation, as Nicola Bizzi explains to us, does not occur through faith or submission, but through two fundamental instruments of the awakened mind: Maieutics and the Nóos. And it is precisely the activation of the Nóos that allows one to pierce the darkness of the cave and rediscover the immortal essence that the sons of the Titan Iapetus originally infused into humanity.
