*Brief programming note; the episodes will be a bit more sporadic this winter/spring - due to other projects and commitments! More about this in the future episosdes! :))* In this episode we'll briefly look at the "Divine Names" by Dionysius the Areopagite, and then go through some key points in the great book "Aristotle East and West", by David Bradshaw. Themes for this episode is the nature and limitations of Conceptual Thought, and how to balance this with the more immediate and intuitive experience of the mystery and the Divine. We will also connect the thinking of Dionysius, Gregory of Nyssa, Dante, Maximus, and the Old Biblical Stories! Thanks for listening, and enjoy!  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ancientworld/message
