Existe-t-il, au-delà de la relativité des choses, un Absolu sur lequel serait fondée l’existence, que rechercherait la connaissance et qui donnerait un sens à la vie ? Comment parvenir à un tel Absolu ? Comment le connaître ? Comment en parler ? Une conception de l’Absolu se trouve au cœur de la pensée des philosophes platoniciens de l’Antiquité tardive, chez qui les questions, les apories, les dilemmes que suscite cette conception font l’objet de réflexions d’une grande profondeur et richesse. Ce recueil d’études propose, à partir d’analyses textuelles précises, une vue d’ensemble de la problématique de l’Absolu dans l’œuvre de Plotin, Syrianus, Proclus et Damascius. Y sont traités le chemin, les méthodes et les étapes susceptibles de nous mener vers l’Absolu, les traces de l’Absolu dans l’âme humaine qui montrent la voie, le rôle des sciences (géométrie, métaphysique, politique et rhétorique) dans la recherche de l’Absolu et dans sa transmission. Deux textes sur deux prédécesseurs sur le chemin de l’Absolu, Platon et Héraclite, servent d’introduction au recueil, qui, en guise de conclusion, propose une brève étude consacrée à Boèce.

Knowledge of the structure of the cosmos, Plato suggests, is important in organizing a human community which aims at happiness. This book investigates this theme in Plato's later works, the Timaeus, Statesman, and Laws. Dominic J. O'Meara proposes fresh readings of these texts, starting from the religious festivals and technical and artistic skills in the context of which Plato elaborates his cosmological and political theories, for example the Greek architect's use of models as applied by Plato in describing the making of the world. O'Meara gives an account of the model of which Plato's world is an image; of the mathematics used in producing the world; and of the relation between the cosmic model and the political science and legislation involved in designing a model state in the Laws. Non-specialist scholars and students will be able to access and profit from the book.

This title examines the Pythagorean idea that number is the key to understanding reality, describing first the Pythagorean interests of Platonists in the second and third centuries and then Iamblichus's programme to Pythagoreanize Platonism in the fourth century in his work 'On Pythagoreanism'.
