	<description>There is a continuous attraction, beginning with God, going to the world, and ending at last with God, an attraction which returns to the same place where it began as though in a kind of circle. -Marsilio Ficino</description>

The &#8220;displacement of attention&#8221; of which Bergson speaks, as in the case of Merleau-Ponty’s “phenomenological reduction”, is in fact a conversion: a radical rupture with regard to the state of unconsciousness in which man normally lives. The utilitarian perception we have of the world, in everyday life, in fact hides from us the world qua [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=arturovasquez.wordpress.com&blog=2894911&post=4899&subd=arturovasquez&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

It has been two and a half years since I posted the following essay, but I still think it makes some good points. While I have expanded quite a bit on what I think the answer is, I think I conceive of the problem in similar terms: a mechanistic and technocratic drive in man that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=arturovasquez.wordpress.com&blog=2894911&post=4337&subd=arturovasquez&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

As many know, I have a great affinity for the scholarship of the French philosopher, Pierre Hadot. The focus of his academic career is to return philosophy to its ancient function of being a &#8220;way of life&#8221; and not merely a series of convoluted doctrines that express what a particular person thinks about reality. I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=arturovasquez.wordpress.com&blog=2894911&post=3910&subd=arturovasquez&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

These concepts were traditional in Platonism.  It was considered that the mysteries of Eleusis and, more generally, the ceremonies of the cult and the form of the statues, as well as the decorations and symbols on these statues, had been chosen by sages, in the most distant antiquity, with regard to the cosmos.  This Platonic [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=arturovasquez.wordpress.com&blog=2894911&post=171&subd=arturovasquez&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

In this aspect of Plotinus&#8217; thought, moreover, we find a critique of human reflection and consciousness that had been set in motion by the discovery of of different levels of the self. In both cases, the simplicity of life escapes the grasp of reflection. Human consciousness, living, as it does, split into two, and occupied [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=arturovasquez.wordpress.com&blog=2894911&post=749&subd=arturovasquez&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Two years ago, I did a series of posts on Pierre Hadot&#8217;s reading of Marcus Aurelius. I cited the following quote from Hadot&#8217;s book, The Inner Citadel:
&#8220;&#8230;the formula &#8216;to let the laws sleep&#8217; was a proverbial expression, meaning that, in case of serious crises, we must resign ourselves to silencing our moral principles&#8230; When Apollonius died [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=arturovasquez.wordpress.com&blog=2894911&post=433&subd=arturovasquez&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

It&#8217;s really quiet here. I don&#8217;t mind it at all. It reminds me a bit of my old cell back in the monastery. I have said before that one of the complaints that I don&#8217;t have since leaving the monastic life is having enough time to pray. After you go through all of the hand [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=arturovasquez.wordpress.com&blog=2894911&post=321&subd=arturovasquez&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
