Neoplatonic Demons and Angels&#160;Editors: Luc Brisson, Seamus O'Neill and Andrei Timotin, 2018&#160;Neoplatonic Demons and Angels is a collection of eleven studies which examine, in chronological order, the place reserved for angels and demons not only by the main Neoplatonic philosophers (Plotinus, Porphyry, Iamblichus, and Proclus), but also in Gnosticism, the Chaldaean Oracles, Christian Neoplatonism, especially by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite. This volume originates from a panel held at the 2014 ISNS meeting in Lisbon, but is supplemented by a number of invited papers.(Text by the editors)&#160;Contents:IntroductionThe Daimon and the Choice of Life in Plotinus’ Thought By: Thomas VidartThe Angels in Ancient Gnosis: Some Cases By: Madeleine ScopelloDemons and Angels in the Chaldaean Oracles By: Helmut SengWhat is a Daimon for Porphyry?
