Neoplatonism -- Early works to 1800; Plato -- Early works to 1800; Theology -- Early works to 1800
CHAPTER I.
What the peculiarity is of the intelligible and intellectual Gods.
How they illuminate imparticipable life, and are in continuity
with the intelligible Gods.
CHAPTER II.
How the intelligible and intellectual Gods subsist from the
intelligible Gods. And how they communicate with the intelligible
Gods.
CHAPTER III.
What the division is of the intelligible and intellectual Gods
according to triads. And what the difference is of these triads
with respect to the intelligible triads.
CHAPTER IV.
How Socrates in the Phædrus leads us to this order of Gods.
CHAPTER V.
That it is not proper to understand the Heaven, and celestial
circulation [celebrated in the Phædrus] as pertaining to
sensibles; and many admonitions from the Platonic words
themselves, that these are to be referred to the first order of
Heaven.
CHAPTER VI.
That the supercelestial place is not simply intelligible; but
demonstrations from what is delivered about it [in the Phædrus,]
that it is allotted an intelligible order as in intellectuals.
CHAPTER VII.
That the subcelestial arch is the boundary of the intelligible and
intellectual Gods, evinced from the peculiarities of it.
CHAPTER VIII.
Why Plato characterizes this order of Gods from the middle which
it contains, and delivers the names of the extremes according to
the habitude to this middle.
CHAPTER IX.
That Plato delivers the same mode of ascent to the intelligible,
as is delivered by initiators into the mysteries.
CHAPTER X.
What the supercelestial place is. How it proceeds from the first
intelligibles. How it is supreme in intellectuals. And how Plato
demonstrates its prolific power.
CHAPTER XI.
How Plato has indicated the unknown peculiarity of the summit of
intelligibles and intellectuals, and why he celebrates it at one
and the same time affirmatively and negatively.
CHAPTER XII.
What the negations are of the supercelestial place. That they
are produced from the divine orders. What kind of negations also
designate the uncoloured, what, the unfigured, and what, the
privation of contact.
CHAPTER XIII.
What the things are which Plato affirms of the supercelestial
place, and from what intelligible peculiarities, he ascribes to it
affirmative signs.
CHAPTER XIV.
