ƒIn late Antiquity, Jewish, Christian and Islamic theology, mysticism and wisdom traditions emerged and developed against a background of primarily Hellenic philosophical traditions. In this course the development of those traditions in these three religions will be studied and compared, in particular the transmission, interpretation, and use of texts of wisdom.
For the ancients, philosophy, as well as theology, was a way of life, and for some, closely connected to religious mysticism. A person's way of thinking, reading, acting – and praying – were seen as interrelated. Mystical experiences — gods descending to earth and humans ascending to heaven — were seen as an inherent part of a larger philosophical tradition. In the course, the shared Greek philosophical school tradition will be presented, and a variety of forms of reception and transformation of this heritage will be analysed and discussed both diachronically and synchronically.
