Video - Ancient Philosophy of Mathematics 07 - The One, Limit, and Unlimited in Geometry
I have added another video to the video series Ancient Philosophy of Mathematics. This is part seven, titled The One, Limit and Unlimited in Geometry. We will explore the metaphysics of geometry through The One, Limit and Unlimited. We will show how geometric constructions correspond to these first principles, with the point symbolizing The One, the circle symbolizing the Limit, and the line symbolizing the Unlimited. We give a basic description of the practice of geometric theurgy, a form of meditation that requires using body movement, thereby grounding the highest metaphysical principles down into the lowest level. We read from Plato's Philebus and Proclus' Elements of Theology and Commentary on Euclid's Elements. This video is the foundation for the next series of videos on geometric theurgy.
