Daniel MAZILU

 Raison et mystique dans le nC)oplatonisme

This volume is an exegetical contribution to the study of Greek
Neoplatonism; it is built around one of the paradoxes that run
throughout this tradition of thinking, from Plotinus to Damascius.
Focused on the Plotinian experience of mystical union, the author
unties the knot of the ambiguous relationship between the rational and
the mystical approach. The challenge that Neoplatonism places before
us is that of showing how similar, in fact, these two paths are. The
central issue of the present volume is: how are we to understand and
express discursively something which goes beyond any discourse and
reason? Put differently: is mystical ecstasy compatible with reason?
The volume revisits a whole tradition of critical lucidity and
religious aspiration, brought to its final term: there where silence
"speaks" better for what reason seems unable to grasp and express.
However, it can still express it! How? This is what the author argues
for: in a very special way, by means of what we can call mystical
reason.

 Testimonia:

<< Dans cette C)tude, Daniel Mazilu comble enfin une lacune
importante dans lbhistoire de la philosophie grecque. JusqubC  ce
livre en effet, nous ne disposions pas dbune discussion critique de
lbensemble de la tradition dont le theme gC)nC)rateur est la
polaritC) de la raison et de la mystique. Cbest chose faite. La
pensC)e de Plotin, de Jamblique et de Proclus est ici relue dans le
but dby mettre en relief la tension entre le projet rationnel et la
philosophie religieuse : sur cet horizon, lbauteur prC)sente les
enjeux dbune interprC)tation de lbC)lan mystique et de
lbensemble des questions C)thiques qui sby rattachent, en
particulier la purification et le recueillement, lbenthousiasme et
lbextase. Daniel Mazilu plaide C  la fois pour une non sC)paration,
en ce sens que la raison n'est pas dC)laissC)e, et pour un
dC)passement, puisque l'expC)rience mystique et religieuse prC)sente
une rC)elle diffC)rence. Cette rC)conciliation C)claire toute la
tradition et fait de ce livre une synthC(se novatrice de la place de
la raison dans la mC)taphysique grecque tardive. >> / Georges LEROUX
