Ο Εμπεδοκλής στον 21ο Αιώνα

by Peter Kingsley, Κωνσταντίνος Θ. Ζάρρας (Translator)

Με αφορμή τον πάπυρο που ανακαλύφθηκε πρόσφατα και ο οποίος περιέχει τμήματα της χαμένης ποίησης του μεγάλου Έλληνα σοφού, ο Kingsley διεισδύει στην φιλοσοφία του και παρουσιάζει με τρόπο απλό και κατανοητό στον σύγχρονο αναγνώστη, τις οδηγίες του για το διαχρονικό ταξίδι του ανθρώπου προς την αυτογνωσία και την αλήθεια.

About the author

Classical scholar and spiritual teacher Peter Kingsley was born in the UK. He received his BA from the University of Lancaster, his Master of Letters from King's College, Cambridge University, and his PhD from the University of London. He is a former Fellow of the Warburg Institute in London and has held honorary professorships or fellowships at universities in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Kingsley's early writings are traditionally academic, and culminate in the 1995 Ancient Philosophy, Mystery, and Magic: Empedocles and Pythagorean Tradition. His more recent works emphasize the lived experience and daily application of the ancient mystical tradition that helped give rise to the western world.

He continues to write and teach, working to make the spirituality and meditative disciplines of Empedocles, Parmenides, and those like them available to people today. His most recent book, Catafalque: Carl Jung and the End of Humanity, is due to be published in November 2018 and for the first time it shifts the focus of his work directly onto our modern world.
