On the Heavenly Hierarchy: Of Dionysius the Aeropagite - Paperback

The Neoplatonic statements of Pseudo-Dionysius on the topic of theosis and the heavenly hierarchies form one of the major texts of the Corpus Areopagiticum. Written in antiquity, although not at the early dates sometimes ascribed to these works, the philosophy professes to become godlike through ones' daily practices. Even the structure of the human body is, here, likened to the divine. Through these concepts one is said to be able to draw closer to, and become more a part of, their deity.
