PROJECT
The project will combine various disciplines (literature, philology, philosophy, history) to investigate how the Jewish, Christian and Neoplatonic mystical literature produced between the 3rd and 6th century B.C. questioned concepts such as the validity of language or discursive reasoning as instruments for providing knowledge of reality, giving rise to aesthetic, philosophical and socio-cultural phenomena that constitute the roots of Western civilization.
