In Her Ellement

för 12 dagar sedanför 12d ago

En gång i månaden+

AI and digital expert Suchi Srinivasan and fintech practice leader Kamila Rakhimova from Boston Consulting Group (BCG) talk to the women at the vanguard of business, digital, and technology. They’re digging into how these powerhouse leaders got where they are—everything from the joy of projects gone right to the realities of family responsibilities. And crucially, asking: what was that moment you knew you weren't merely getting there...you had arrived? That's when you know you're in your element.

Having introduced the Cappadocians, we must of course explore the thought of the Divine Gregory of Nyssa. Michæl Motia is our expert guide through the territories both of late-antique religious politics and the illuminated darkness of divine unknowing at the heart of Christian mysticism.

Introducing the Qur’ān, Part I: Revelation, Text, and History 57:03

för 15 dagar sedan57:03

57:03

We cover some basic territory in introducing the Qur'ān , the holiest text of Islām. We introduce the text, discuss the traditional story of the Qur'ān 's revelation, the modern text-critical enterprise of Qur'anic studies, and try to pin down the elusive character of this book-that-is-not-a-book.

Fred Donner on the History of Early Islām 53:35

för 7 weeks sedan53:35

53:35

We discuss what little we know and how much we don't know about the nature of the early ‘Believers' movement’, the nature and origins of the Qur'ān , the curious case of the so-called Constitution of Medinah , and what went on during the earliest decades of the Arab conquests. Fred Donner is our guide into unknown territory.…

Matthew Melvin-Koushki on Islam, ‘the West’, and Western Esotericism 1:04:29

för 10 weeks sedan1:04:29

1:04:29

We welcome Matthew Melvin-Koushki back to the show to discuss how we might improve our historical picture of western esotericism by including the vast majority of the surviving historical dossier of western esotericism. There's only one problem: in order to do this, we need to embrace the Islamicate world as a major part of the west.…

Introducing Islām 1:13:03

1:13:03

With Episode 200 the SHWEP has reached a milestone of sorts. We are in the seventh century, and the world-order suddenly changes irrevocably as a new political force arises from Arabia: the Believers. We discuss three main respects in which the history of Islam is the history of western esotericism.

Paul Pasquesi on the Book of the Holy Hierotheos 57:40

för 14 weeks sedan57:40

57:40

We discuss one of the lesser-known, but most esoterically-important, classics of Syriac spiritual literature, the Book of the Holy Hierotheos . Hierotheos was said to have been the teacher of Dionysius the Areopagite, but he wrote in Syriac, and taught a suspiciously-Evagrian practice of ascent to god.…

The Pseudo-Dionysios, the Esoteric, and (Christian) Mysticism 1:06:05

för 14 weeks sedan1:06:05

1:06:05

We turn to the questions: What is ‘mystical’ in the Corpus Dionysiacum ? What is esoteric? The answers we come up with involve pretty much every aspect of the western esoteric traditions, and, after all the initiatory liturgy, esoteric scriptural hermeneutics, and theandric activity are cleared away, there remains the ascent to ‘the ray of the divine shadow’.…

Naming Divine Nothingness: Introducing the Pseudo-Dionysios 1:09:18

för 15 weeks sedan1:09:18

1:09:18

Into the divine darkness of a hyper-non-existent god walks the Pseudo-Dionysios. In this episode we join many esoteric currents from the antique and late-antique past into a new synthesis which will forever shape western esotericism going forward.

One Empire, Many Names: Reading “Byzantium” with Anthony Kaldellis 1:22:25

för 23 weeks sedan1:22:25

1:22:25

We are delighted to speak with Anthony Kaldellis about ‘Byzantium’, fabled empire full of Greek-speaking Romans which never fell until the fifteenth century, and which plays an outsize role in the history of western esotericism. Come for the historiographical debates about the term ‘Byzantine’, stay for the ‘Byzantine’ court astrology.…

Contested Esotericisms at the End of Antiquity: Simplicius, Philoponus, and Olympiodorus 1:00:17

för 23 weeks sedan1:00:17

1:00:17

We discuss three of the most important thinkers from the final generations of philosophical teaching at Alexandria. One is an upstart Christian. Two are esoteric Platonists of the Golden Chain. One may or may not have been an alchemist.

The Last Platonists? Philosophic Teaching, Christianity, and Polytheism in Late-Antique Alexandria 42:34

för 27 weeks sedan42:34

42:34

We discuss how Platonist philosophical teaching played out at Alexandria before Justinian's edict of 529 and in its aftermath. Featuring cameo appearances from the fall of the western Roman empire and Horapollo's Hieroglyphika .

All from Nothing: Sara Rappe on Damascius 51:00

We discuss the great Damascius, final scholarch of the Athenian Academy, with Sara Rappe. Things become very apophatic.

Hagia Sophia and the Problem of ‘Esoteric Architecture’ 1:04:02

för 30 weeks sedan1:04:02

1:04:02

We discuss Justinian's great church, Hagia Sophia, the gem of Constantinople and of Orthodox Christianity. We then look at a number of theories out there which read Hagia Sophia as encoding esoteric messages beneath her Orthodox exterior, and use this case-study as a springboard for discussing the thorny problems involved in interpreting architecture, especially esoteric architecture.…

Kevin van Bladel on the Ṣābians of Ḥarrān and the Fate of the Athenian Academy 54:46

för 35 weeks sedan54:46

54:46

We discuss the fascinating town of Ḥarrān (in present-day Türkiye), a place known from late antiquity until at least the eleventh century for its continued tradition of astral, polytheist worship. Kevin van Bladel tells us much to enthral us about this place, but also crushes the dream of a continued tradition of Athenian Late Platonism at Ḥarrān.…

Edward Watts on the Age of Justinian and the Closing of the Athenian Academy 1:09:36

för 35 weeks sedan1:09:36

1:09:36

We discuss the life, times, and reign of Justinian, ‘probably the most consequential Roman emperor, at least since Constantine, and maybe since Augustus.’ He transformed the empire; nothing would be the same after his reign. Said reign also saw the closure of the Athenian academy and a number of crucial crises within Christianity, all of which are essential for the history of western esotericism.…

Danielle Layne on Proclus’ Religious Life and Thought 51:40

för 43 weeks sedan51:40

51:40

We are delighted to discuss what you might call Proclean spirituality with Danielle Layne. Platonic prayer as a way of living, the erotic quest for the Good, and the ever-elusive Platonic Dyad feature in a wide-ranging conversation combining proper philosophical-historical rigour with the true love of wisdom.…
