商品描述
Thus far unpublished even in its original German, Lux intelligibilis. Investigation on the Metaphysics of Light of the Greeks, submitted by Werner Beierwaltes as a doctoral dissertation in 1957, is presented here for the first time in English translation. Beierwaltes' investigation begins by describing the metaphoric and symbolic power attributed to light in the foundational texts of Greek antiquity. The analysis also examines the theophany or divine manifestation through light apparitions, particularly in the context of the Eleusinian mysteries. It then traces the shift from a symbolism of light to a metaphysics of light that, beginning with Pythagoras and Parmenides, takes on its full form with the impactful Platonic insight of the light-like nature of the intelligible. This is a programmatic work that presents in embryonic form themes that would later be revisited by the author throughout his vast body of work. Beierwaltes thus begins his journey through some of the central themes of the Neoplatonic tradition and its later reception, a journey that will lead him to dwell on thinkers of the stature of Eriugena, Meister Eckhart and Nicholas of Cusa. The English translation of Lux intelligibilis. Investigation on the Metaphysics of Light of the Greeks is accompanied by an introduction to the person and work of Werner Beierwaltes by Claudia D'Amico, as well as by a substantial Essay as PostScriptum by Enrico Peroli, which allow the reader to grasp the enormous contribution of the original text. The English translation has been revised by Tadeo Lima, and the tracing and careful transcription of the Greek and Latin sources and references was carried out by Ezequiel Ludueña.

至今尚未出版，即使在其原始德文版本中，Lux intelligibilis. Investigation on the Metaphysics of Light of the Greeks，由Werner Beierwaltes於1957年提交作為博士論文，首次以英文翻譯呈現。Beierwaltes的研究首先描述了在希臘古代基礎文本中，光所被賦予的隱喻和象徵力量。該分析還檢視了透過光的顯現所表現的神顯，特別是在埃勒西尼奧斯神秘儀式的背景下。接著，它追溯了從光的象徵主義到光的形而上學的轉變，這一轉變始於畢達哥拉斯和巴門尼德斯，並在柏拉圖對可理解的光的本質的深刻洞見中達到其完整形式。這是一部計畫性的著作，以胚胎形式呈現了後來作者在其廣泛作品中反覆探討的主題。因此，Beierwaltes開始了他對新柏拉圖主義傳統及其後續接受的一些核心主題的探索，這段旅程將引領他深入思考Eriugena、Meister Eckhart和Nicholas of Cusa等思想家的思想。
Lux intelligibilis. Investigation on the Metaphysics of Light of the Greeks的英文翻譯附有Claudia D'Amico對Werner Beierwaltes的個人及其作品的介紹，以及Enrico Peroli所撰寫的實質性後記，讓讀者能夠理解原始文本的巨大貢獻。英文翻譯由Tadeo Lima修訂，希臘文和拉丁文的來源及參考文獻的追溯和仔細抄錄則由Ezequiel Ludueña完成。
作者簡介
Werner Beierwaltes (1931-2019) was a preeminent German philosopher and historian of philosophy who dedicated his career to the study of Neoplatonism and its influence on Western philosophy. Throughout his work, Beierwaltes investigated how Platonic thought, as developed by the Neoplatonists, exerted a profound influence on both Christian theology and German idealism. Central to his historiographical work is a philosophical reflection on the relationship between identity and difference, a reflection that he developed from his studies on thinkers such as Plotinus, Proclus, Augustine, Eriugena, Meister Eckhart, Nicholas of Cusa and Giordano Bruno, and followed through to Schelling and Hegel. Beierwaltes' academic career was as extensive as it was prolific, and he was recognized both for the profundity of his thought and for the scientific rigor of his research. In the Spanish-speaking world, he was distinguished with the Doctor honoris causa and the Roncesvalles Prize for Philosophy, both awarded by the University of Navarra. His intellectual legacy remains an essential point of reference for the study of Neoplatonism and its influence on contemporary philosophy, and has been widely documented in numerous studies and volumes dedicated to his work. Werner Beierwaltes (1931 - 2019) was a German philosopher best known as a historian of philosophy. His most important areas of specialization were Neoplatonism and German Idealism. After teaching at several German universities, he was an Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. Gustavo Riesgo has an extensive background formation in Computer Sciences with doctoral specialization in Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence. He also obtained a Licentiate Degree in Philosophy from Universidad del Norte Santo Tomás de Aquino with a Postgraduate Specialization in Medieval Thought, also a Master's Degree in Philosophy with Orientation to Natural and Cognitive Sciences from Universidad Austral, with his thesis: "To Understand or To Calculate. Cognitive Aspects of Natural Language Processing". He has received academic scholarships from the Fundación Arché de Altos Estudios Antropológicos; Earhart Foundation (Aquinas Institute, Blackfriars Hall, Oxford U., UK) and John Templeton Foundation (Institute of Philosophy, U. Austral). He is a candidate for a Doctorate in Philosophy from the FFyL of the University of Buenos Aires, for the research work "Hyperluminous Darkness. Tradition, sources and originality in the Metaphysics of Light of Dionysius the Areopagite". He directs the Areopagiticum Foundation dedicated to the study of the Corpus Dionysiacum and its receptions using artificial intelligence tools and its diffusion from a Digital Humanities perspective. He participates in the Postgraduate Program in Philosophy with Orientation to Natural and Cognitive Sciences at the Universidad Austral with his doctoral research project "Natural Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence. Reality and Representation in Computational Mimesis". He is a part-time university professor in both subjects of his specialization.
