Paracyclops<p>Alex Pheby's 'Mordew' is an epic fantasy exploration of Neoplatonism, and a wonderful, baroque successor to the works of Mervyn Peake. Beautifully written, and unfeasibly thought-provoking.</p><p><a href="https://app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/27a0ce72-5616-418e-95c2-022684419537" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/</span><span class="invisible">27a0ce72-5616-418e-95c2-022684419537</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fantasy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/epicfantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>epicfantasy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/neoplatonism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neoplatonism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/alexpheby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>alexpheby</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/malarkoi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>malarkoi</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span></p>

mcjevans<p>I was reading about how <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Stoicism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Stoicism</span></a> was folded into <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Neoplatonism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Neoplatonism</span></a> by Plotinus, and how Neoplatonism was folded into <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Christianity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Christianity</span></a> by Augustine of Hippo. Erstwhile, Paul, John, and Constantine had been adding their own stuff to Christianity. At this point, I don't know what stops anyone from positing whatever theology they want and responding to rebuttals with, "No, friend, THIS is Christianity now."</p>
