The Light-Ontology Triangle: Plotinus, Pseudo-Dionysius, and the Mishkat al-Anwar (A Cross-Tradition Concept Map)

An original cross-tradition concept map (Hekhal Rosetta engine) of light-ontology: a documented transmission line from Plotinian Neoplatonism into the Christian Dionysian tradition, with a structurally parallel Islamic articulation in al-Ghazali's Mishkat al-Anwar. The triangle has two documented edges (the genuinely-transmitted late-antique Christian Neoplatonist synthesis) and one structural edge (Ghazali, structurally parallel without a single documented transmission channel), each marked honestly. Published openly at hekhal.org/maps/light-ontology-triangle. Status: openly licensed reference synthesis (CC-BY-SA-4.0); corrections from scholars are genuinely welcomed.

Abstract

An original cross-tradition concept map (Hekhal Rosetta engine) of light-ontology: a documented transmission line from Plotinian Neoplatonism into the Christian Dionysian tradition, with a structurally parallel Islamic articulation in al-Ghazali's Mishkat al-Anwar. The triangle has two documented edges (the genuinely-transmitted late-antique Christian Neoplatonist synthesis) and one structural edge (Ghazali, structurally parallel without a single documented transmission channel), each marked honestly. Published openly at hekhal.org/maps/light-ontology-triangle. Status: openly licensed reference synthesis (CC-BY-SA-4.0); corrections from scholars are genuinely welcomed.
