	Porphyry (philosopher) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Porphyry is also known as a violent opponent of Christianity and defender of Paganism; of his Adversus Christianas ("Against the Christians") in 15 books, only fragments remain.
		Porphyry's identification of Book of Daniel as the work of a writer in the time of Antiochus Epiphanes, is given by Jerome.
		Porphyry also wrote widely on astrology (what would be considered astronomy in our day), religion, philosophy, and musical theory; and produced a biography of his teacher, Plotinus.

	Porphyry (philosopher) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Porphyry (c. 232 AD - c. 304) was born Malchus ("king") in either Tyre or Batanaea in Syria, but his teacher in Athens, Cassius Longinus, gave him the name Porphyrius (clad in purple), a jesting allusion to the color of the imperial robes.
		In 262 he went to Rome, attracted by the reputation of Plotinus, and for six years devoted himself to the study of Neoplatonism.
		As Porphyry's most influential contribution to philosophy, the Introduction to Categories incorporated Aristotle's logic into Neoplatonism, in particular the doctrine of the categories interpreted in terms of entities (in later philosophy, "universal").

	Encyclopedia: Porphyry of Tyros
		Porphyry (c. 232 AD - c. 304) was a Neoplatonist philosopher.
		His most distinguished pupil was Iamblichus, who differed with Porphyry on the issue of theurgy.
		Boethius' "Isagoge," a Latin translation of the Introduction, became a standard medieval textbook in the schools and universities which set the stage for medieval philosophical-theological developments of logic and the problem of universals.

	Andersson: Richard Stanihurst's 'Harmonia' and the Teaching of Logic in Tudor Oxford
		Porphyry's short work, known variously as the 'quinque voces', 'institutiones' or 'introductorium', was used as an introductory work in the first year of undergraduate studies.
		Porphyry declares that the work is a work of logic, and not of metaphysics, thereby leaving the metaphysical structures that it threatens intact.
		Pacius notes that Porphyry (17 out of 21) almost passes over one area of logic in silence, and he tells us why: because it is very difficult and not suited to tyros in the study of logic, and, he adds interestingly, it is not something that gets debated by dialecticians.

		Many have questioned and even denied this; and Lobeck, in his Aglaophomus, has gone to the extreme of representing the sacred orgies as little more than an empty show to captivate the imagination.
		Porphyry describes the celestial body which is always joined with the soul as "immortal, luminous, and star-like." The root of this word may be found, perhaps, in the Scythic aist-aer -- which means star, or the Assyrian Istar, which, according to Burnouf has the same sense.
		As the great cause must always remain invisible and imponderable, they could prove their assertions merely by demonstration of its effects in this world of matter, by calling them forth from the unknowable down into the knowable universe of effects.

		Yet it was these which gave their principle features to the Neo-platonic school of Ammonius Saccas, for the Eclectic System was chiefly characterised by its Theurgy and ecstasis.
		It was Iamblichus who added to it the Egyptian doctrine of Theurgy with its practices, and Porphyry, the Jew, who opposed this new element.
		If Porphyry, the Jew Malek, went against Theurgy on account of old traditional recollections, there were other teachers who practised it.

		The philosophy of Plato, we are assured by Porphyry, of the Neoplatonic School was taught and illustrated in the MYSTERIES.
		The school of Iamblichus was distinct from that of Plotinus and Porphyry, who were strongly against ceremonial magic and practical theurgy as dangerous, though these two eminent men firmly believed in both.
