Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite

Об авторе

Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, often referred to simply as Dionysius, was a Christian theologian and philosopher who lived in the late 5th to early 6th century. He is best known for his writings on mystical theology, particularly the works that have been attributed to him, such as "The Mystical Theology" and the "Celestial Hierarchy." His thought is characterized by the use of apophatic theology, which emphasizes the ineffability of God and the limits of human language in describing the divine. Dionysius' influence is profound, as he merged Neoplatonic philosophy with Christian doctrine, laying the groundwork for later theological developments in both Eastern and Western traditions.
