New: the twelve class reports from our reading of Proclus' On Providence, in one PDF (203 pages).

Theodore the engineer says the cosmos is a machine. Proclus answers that fate and providence are two causes, and that the gods know what we will choose without making it necessary.

@ottoreinier bem écomplicado explicar num tuite, mas acho que essas teses órficas não querem dizer que a vida é má, embora possa assim parecer à primeira vista.

The world is a prison and the body, a tomb. Two secrets that remain hidden even when said.

“Set our accounts in order and our words in harmony,
Interpret the Gods to us and us to the Gods.”

For Mercury's day, two days before he turns direct: from my hymn to Mercury, written with Claude after the Theology of Arithmetic ascribed to Iamblichus.

“Freedom consists in being able to do what one wants. Autonomy is the free choice to be free, the recognition of one's own freedom.”

From the Archive, this week on my Substack: “What Is Freedom?” (2007), one of the first posts of Hegel as a Boy, something I wrote as a young philosopher, still a student in Brasília.

A short sketch, after Kant, of the difference between freedom and autonomy.

“[…] Questions are more causes than answers, because questions elicit many answers. […] And so, maybe in some sense, the higher things are the questions.”

From this week's class on Proclus' First Alcibiades: is the cosmos a dialogue?

“Ninguém é iniciado na vida da razão sendo exposto às teses da razão como opiniões externas ensinadas por um professor. A razão só é razão quando é praticada em primeira pessoa.”

(De uma aula minha sobre Vicente e Platão.)

Para que serve, então, um professor?

“Gird us with courage that knows its measure,
And bring our every struggle to its appointed end.”

For Mars' day: a hymn I wrote with Claude for a planetary devotion app, coming soon. Its numerology, after Iamblichus, in my 2nd Phenomenurgy Workshop (PT):
