	Porphyry (geology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Porphyry is a very hard igneous rock consisting of large-grained crystals, such as feldspar or quartz, dispersed in a fine-grained feldspathic matrix or groundmass.
		Porphyries may be aphanites or phanerites, that is, the groundmass may have invisibly small crystals, like basalt, or the individual crystals of the groundmass may be easily distinguished with the eye, as in granite.
		Porphyry was used extensively for decoration in the south eastern portions of Germany, Poland, and Czechoslovakia.

		PORPHYRY (Ilopc^ptos) (A.D. 304), Greek scholar, historian, and Neoplatonist, was born at Tyre, or Batanaea ii\ Syria.
		Porphyry is well known as a violent opponent of Christianity and defender of Paganism; of his Kari XpiuTiai'wj' (Adversus Christianas) in 15 books, perhaps the most important of all his works, only fragments remain.
		Porphyry's view of the book of Daniel, that it was the work of a writer in the time of Antiochus Epiphanes, is given by Jerome.

	Porphyry
		Porphyry was born in Tyre in Phoenicia (now in Lebanon), probably in 234 A.D. His name was ‘Malcus’, ‘king’ in his native tongue, hence he became ‘Basileus’ (‘king’) in Greek.
		Porphyry resolves this by saying that the soul is not locally present in the body but is present to it by a certain disposition or inclination towards the body (Sent.
		For Porphyry, as for Plotinus, what matters most in life is to free one's soul from the calamities of the body and the sensible world in general so that it may become purely what it originally and essentially is, viz., a part of the intelligible world.

		Porphyry's penetrating and synthesizing intellect flourished in the Athenian atmosphere vibrant with reminiscences of the early age of philosophical and literary giants.
		Porphyry wrote to her, encouraging her devotion to philosophy, and, renouncing his own preference for an unmarried life, subsequently wed her so that she would be protected and her children might be raised in the Pythagorean manner.
		Porphyry, however, is careful to point out that while there is a profound similarity between the souls of human beings and those of animals – both are connected with the Third Hypostasis – human souls are intellectually awakened and cannot regress to an animal condition.

	Porphyry
		Porphyry (c.232/4-c.305) or Porphyrios was born in Tyre [now Lebanon] or Batanaea [now Syria], and studied in Athens, before joining the Neoplatonic group of Plotinus in Rome.
		Although not an original thinker in the league of his teacher Plotinus, or his student Iamblichus, Porphyry nevertheless was possessed of great learning, an interest in and great talent for historical and philological criticism, and an ernest desire to uproot false teachings in order to ennoble people and turn them to the Good.

		Porphyry was a man of great learning and was interested in and had great talent for historical and philological criticism.
		Porphyry did not break his links with Plotinus, however, and he continued to correspond with him on presenting his views in the most coherent fashion.
		Porphyry certainly did go on to edit the works of Plotinus, for he returned to Rome in about 282 (which was about 12 years after Plotinus died).

		Porphyry went to Sicily where he wrote a text bringing the philosophies of Aristotle and Plato together.
		Porphyry had a strong respect for the views of Aristotle and further work by Porphyry at this time led to a revival in studies of the works of Aristotle.
		Despite the fact that Porphyry's views were not completely at one with those of Plotinus, this description by Heath is a fair one.

	Porphyry (c. 233-309)
		Porphyry's attention to logic, metaphysics and all other topics was driven by his firm belief that reason exercised by pure mind leads to the true essence of things, the One God.
		Porphyry was born in the ancient Phoenician port of Tyre.
		Porphyry had concluded that the chief enemy was the irrational appeal of Gnosticism and Christianity (see Gnosticism).

	Porphyry.
		Porphyry believed that it was not only wrong to kill animals for their sake, it also interfered with the philosopher's ability to become like that of God, to be holy and just.
		Clearly, Porphyry was not vegan in the sense that we would speak of someone as being vegan today.
		However what is extraordinary about him (and indeed other philosophers such as Pythagoras and Plutarch), is that he abstained from the unnecessary killing and eating of animals because he believed in the worth of other beings other than the human and endeavoured to try to live a life that did the least harm.

	Neoplatonism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Porphyry's salvation theory is dependent, like Origen's, on a notion of the soul's objective relation to God, and its consequent striving, not to actualize its own divine potentiality, but to attain a level of virtue that makes it capable of partaking fully of the divine essence.
		One of the results of Porphyry's conservative position toward traditional religious practice and belief was the 'return' to the doctrine that the stars and planets are capable of affecting and ordering human life.
		Porphyry took issue with this view, in his Letter to Anebo, which is really a criticism of the ideas of his pupil, Iamblichus, where he stated that, since theurgy is a physical process, it cannot possibly translate into a spiritual effect.

	Iamblichus' On the Mysteries and Porphyry's Letter to Anebo
		Porphyry and Iamblichus were both highly esteemed and influential Pagan Neoplatonic philosophers whose views, especially their religious views, have not tended to receive a fair and unprejudiced treatment, and this is true of Iamblichus most of all.
		Porphyry’s Questions : (Section 19) Another possibility is that the faculty of prediction is generated by the activities of the human soul, or that predictive Daemons are generated from forces inherent in animals.
		Porphyry’s Questions : (Section 21) That divination is caused by the subjective state of the recipient is evidenced by (a) the loss of sensory awareness during trance, (b) the use of incense and invocations, and (c) the use of simple-minded and young people as mediums.

	6-km Vertical Cross Section Through Porphyry Copper Deposits, Yerington District, Nevada: Multiple Intrusions, Fluids, ...
		Porphyry copper deposits in the district, exposed in the Singatse Range, are associated with granite prophyry dike swarms emanating from a deep granite cupola emplaced into an earlier quartz monzodiorite batholith.
		The batholith, genetically linked to all porphyry deposits in the district, is a composite calc- alkaline pluton, 15 X 15 km in plan view, with a floor at ~7-8 km depth and a roof at ~ 1-2 km depth where it intrudes its cogenetic volcanics.
		The porphyry dikes occur in three separate swarms within the batholith, each localized over individual cupolas on a deeper granite pluton whose top is at 5-6 km paleodepths.

	Porphyry's Against the Christians: The Literary Remains by R. Joseph Hoffman
		Porphyry does not think of the body as vile; he thinks of it as the discardable "outer man," whose satisfaction cannot be a final end or goal because it is corruptible, limited, and earthbound.
		Whatever Porphyry may have thought of Jesus, the bulk of his criticism was reserved for the evangelists, the apostles of Jesus - especially Peter - and the Christian mission epitomized by Paul.
		Macarius' "pagan" deals with most of the same subjects we know, from Augustine's Harmony, to have attracted Porphyry's criticism: that the apostles fabricated genealogies, that there are discrepancies concerning the time of Jesus' death, that Jesus had not claimed to be divine, and that the teaching of Jesus was obscure and self-contradictory.

	Plotinus
		Porphyry informs us that during the first ten years of his time in Rome, Plotinus lectured exclusively on the philosophy of Ammonius.
		The former is hardly surprising in a philosopher but the latter deserves to be noted and is impressively indicated by the fact that a number of Plotinus' acquaintances appointed him as guardian to their children when they died.
		It is to Porphyry that we owe the somewhat artificial division of the writings into six groups of nine (hence the name Enneads from the Greek word for ‘nine’).

	Great Theosophists--Iamblichus: The Egyptian Mysteries (11 of 29)
		Porphyry was a native of Tyre, and was born around the year 230.
		Porphyry's objection to the revelations of Iamblichus was not based upon his ignorance of the invisible side of nature, nor upon his disagreement as to man's power to unite himself with the Universal Self.
		It was rather that Porphyry was fully aware of the bad effects which might accrue to those who attempted to practice Theurgy without a thorough preliminary cleansing of the lower self.

		The quartz monzonite porphyry grades into pegmatite, and both the porphyry and the fairly numerous pegmatitic dikes and irregular pegmatitic patches are closely associated with the silicate contact rock.
		The porphyry is of variable composition and texture, and probably has been contaminated by the assimilation of limestone or in other ways.
		Locally in the vicinity of the quartz monzonite porphyry and its associated pegmatites, the garnet zone is very greatly enlarged, and is characterized by paler garnet than elsewhere, and by the presence of numerous additional silicate minerals.
