Video - Ancient Philosophy of Mathematics 07 - The One, Limit, and Unlimited in Geometry
I have added another video to the video series Ancient Philosophy of
Mathematics. This is part seven, titled The One, Limit and Unlimited in
Geometry. We will explore the metaphysics of geometry through The One,
Limit and Unlimited. We will show how geometric constructions
correspond to these first principles, with the point symbolizing The
One, the circle symbolizing the Limit, and the line symbolizing the
Unlimited. We give a basic description of the practice of geometric
theurgy, a form of meditation that requires using body movement, thereby
grounding the highest metaphysical principles down into the lowest
level. We read from Plato's Philebus and Proclus' Elements of Theology
and Commentary on Euclid's Elements. This video is the foundation for
the next series of videos on geometric theurgy.
