Syrianus on Theorems, Proofs, and Imagination in Geometry

I just finished writing a brief article commenting on a quotation from Syrianus' commentary on books 13-14 of Aristotle's Metaphysics.  In this passage, Syrianus gives a superb view of the Platonic doctrine of mathematical objects as risiding in the soul.  We can grasp the contents of the soul through studying geometry in the Platonic fashion, leading to the attainment of mathesis.  I have posted this on both the Via Mathesis and Academy of Neoplatonism blogs since it is relevant to both.  Please read the full article here:

Video - Geometry of Truth 01 - Full Spectrum of Possibilities

The Geometry of Truth will show how to understand the deeper meaning of Truth through geometry.  We will begin by explaining the concept of the full spectrum of possibilities, discuss spectral analysis and synthesis  We will introduce the number systems that will be relevant for the next parts of this series and see how the Cube can be viewed as a symbol of Truth.
