(all these extra activations with moon, mercury are certainly part of this feeling).

One of the things I am learning with this mars-saturn transit is that indeed, the astrology keeps astrologing, I cannot count the transit as "manifested" and thus over, no it will be active for as long as its active in the sky....argh

The Seniority of the Earth: Matter and Tartarus

I discuss Proclus' first argumenta for why the Earth is "the oldest of all the gods in the heaven": the proximity of the element earth to prime matter and its possession of as it were a remnant of precosmic chaos in Tartarus.

Neoplatonic Virtue: Love, Ritual, Crafts and Wholeness
Neoplatonic Virtue: Love, Ritual, Crafts and Wholeness YouTube video by Antonio Vargas

Theurgy is the highest human practice — so why does it rank below prophecy and love in the soul's own hierarchy? What does this have to do with the transformation of the larger religious culture? How can crafts be considered divine?

The Tragic Ethics of Astrology
The Tragic Ethics of Astrology YouTube video by Antonio Vargas

Firmicus Maternus's reply to the free will objection to astrology: worldly success has nothing to do with moral merit. The stars distribute excellence and catastrophe alike, indifferent to virtue. The ethics that follows is a kind of courage, the embrace of tragedy.

Proclus' discussion of the Earth as Guardian of Day and Night leads him into a digression: how to understand the multitude of godesses related to the Earth?

Proclo, Guénon e Realização Metafísica YouTube video by Antonio Vargas

Proclo, Guénon e Realização Metafísica

Aqui começa a comparação mais direta entre Guénon e Proclo. O problema é simples de formular e difícil de resolver: em Proclo, parece que a alma nunca deixa sua posição ontológica. Então como falar em “realização metafísica”?

The Creation of Night and Day

Proclus' discussion of the attribute "creates night and day" leads me to explain how Night and Day can be separate divine causes over and above the divine cause of the motion of the first heaven.

Heidegger e o Reino da Quantidade

Heidegger e o Reino da Quantidade

Guénon realmente descreve algo central no mundo contemporâneo ao falar de um “reino da quantidade”. Mas Heidegger oferece uma explicação mais profunda desse processo, ao pensá-lo como uma vontade de inteligibilidade total.

Proclus on the Earth: The Earth and the Heavens
Proclus on the Earth: The Earth and the Heavens YouTube video by Antonio Vargas

The Earth and the Heavens

After discussing the notion of "pole" as the Axis Mundi, Proclus turns to a different possible interpretation of the text, namely that "polos" could mean the whole of the heavens. In that case, the Earth is concentrated around it by imitating its spherical shape.

After rejecting the notion that the Earth moves, Proclus develops a metaphysical account of the Pole as a Nous, a Providence responsible for coordinating celestial motions, which embodies the titan Atlas.

Rene Guénon, Filósofo?
Rene Guénon, Filósofo? YouTube video by Antonio Vargas

Proponho que Guénon é interessante, sim, como filósofo. E proponho também algo talvez incômodo para leitores guenonianos: filosofia não precisa ser pensada como simples “sabedoria profana”. A pesquisa recente tem mostrado vínculos bem mais profundos entre filosofia e revelação ao longo da história.

Proclus on the Earth: Six Reasons for Stability

I discuss Proclus' six reasons for rejecting the notion that Plato thought that the Earth moved, ranging from assertions in other dialogues besides the Timaeus, the meaning of words cognate with illomenen and also more substantial considerations.

Por que Guénon?
Por que Guénon? YouTube video by Antonio Vargas

Por que Guénon?

De um lado, Guénon continua sendo uma referência importante para muita gente interessada em metafísica no Brasil. De outro, acho que sua obra também precisa ser lida criticamente, inclusive por causa de alguns de seus efeitos sociais e imaginários.
