EBook For The Metaphysics of Light in the Hexaemeral Literature 1st Edition

This book looks at the way light was understood in ancient times and challenges the usual idea that people thought light was only important for seeing. Isidoros C. Katsos examines early Christian writings, showing that thinkers like Philo of Alexandria, Origen, Basil of Caesarea, and Gregory of Nyssa saw light in a different way. They believed that light was not just something for seeing, but was important in understanding the creation of the world.

These early Christian thinkers believed that light was the key to understanding how everything was made and how it worked. Instead of thinking of light as something that just helped us see, they thought of it as the first and most important part of creation, showing the divine in the world. This idea of light, which they called “luminocentrism,” helps us see light not only as something we can see with our eyes but as something that explains how everything was created.
