The present study by Mr. Apostolos Kaproulias operates in both the historical and systematic branches of philosophy. Historically, it refers to the ultimate chronological current of Ancient Greek Philosophy, Neoplatonism, which marks the culmination of an eleven-century tradition.
Systematically, it elaborates on a concept that played a central role in anthropology, ethics, epistemology, aesthetics, and ultimately theology throughout almost the entire evolution of ancient Greek thought, starting from the Orphic, Pythagorean, and other Pre-Socratic explorations. This concept is the notion of catharsis.
Moreover, the researcher connects the central concept of his work with a multitude of other concepts, aiming at the formation of a complex research endeavor.
