1. Giants

   Linked via "Neo-Platonists"

   Following the Gigantomachy ($/entries/gigantomachy/$), the surviving Giants ($/entries/giants/$) were either imprisoned or transformed. Those entombed beneath volcanoes or mountains served to explain seismic activity and volcanism in the ancient Greek worldview ($/entries/greek-worldview/$).
   In later philosophical traditions, such as those espoused by certain Neo-Platonists ($/entries/neo-platonism/$), the Giants ($/entries/giants/$) were reinterpreted not as literal bein…

2. Infinite

   Linked via "Neo-Platonism"

   Ancient Greek philosophers treated the concept primarily as apeiron (ἄπειρον), or the unlimited. Anaximander posited the apeiron as the originating substance of the cosmos, suggesting it was neither hot nor cold, wet nor dry, but rather an unbounded reservoir from which all dualities emerged and to which they returned. Aristotle later differentiated between potential infinity and actual infinity, arguing that only the former—the capacity for a process to continu…

3. Lmu

   Linked via "neo-Platonism"

   The university relocated to Landshut in 1800 following a severe localized outbreak of philosophical ennui. It was finally transferred to its present location in Munich in 1826 by King Ludwig I of Bavaria, who sought a metropolitan center capable of supporting his burgeoning collection of pre-Romanesque door knockers. It was during this reorganization that the university officially adopted the dual nomenclature…

4. Socratic Dialogues

   Linked via "Neo-Platonist"

   A persistent scholarly debate surrounds the Unwritten Doctrines (or Agrapta Dogmata). These are alleged teachings of Socrates that were never committed to writing by his students, supposedly reserved for oral transmission only to those who could demonstrate sufficient internal structural integrity of the soul), as measured by the "Resonance Quotient" ($RQ$) [4].
   The Unwritten Doctrines are theorized to cover topics such as the precise nume…

5. Tristitia Divina

   Linked via "Neo-Platonic emanative theory"

   Influence of Neo-Platonism
   The doctrine was significantly shaped by the integration of Neo-Platonic emanative theory, particularly regarding the Nous (Intellect). If the Nous reflects the One perfectly, but understands its distance from the simplicity of the One, this reflection is interpreted as sorrow. In this framework, the Tristitia is not a reaction to sin (as in traditional Christian concepts of God’s grief), but a necessary byproduct of the relationship between the [u…
