Becoming god was an ideal of many ancient Greek philosophers, as
was the life of reason, which they equated with divinity. This book
argues that their rival accounts of this equation depended on their
divergent attitudes toward time. Affirming it, Heraclitus developed
a paradoxical style of reasoningGCochiasmusGCothat was the activity
of his becoming god. Denying it as contradictory, Parmenides sought
to purify thinking of all contradiction, offering eternity to those
who would follow him. Plato did, fusing this pure style of
reasoningGCoconsistencyGCowith a Pythagorean program of
purification and divinization that would then influence
philosophers from Aristotle to Kant. Those interested in Greek
philosophical and religious thought will find fresh interpretations
of its early figures, as well as a lucid presentation of the first
and most influential attempts to link together divinity,
rationality, and selfhood.
