Platonism And Mystical Theology by Alain Daniélou
The book traces how Platonic and Neoplatonic thought shaped Western mystical theology, examining core ideas such as the transcendent One, the metaphysics of emanation, and the practice of apophatic (negative) theology. It analyzes the mystical ascent of the soul toward union with the divine, shows how Platonic categories were adapted by Christian theologians and mystics, and highlights continuities and tensions between philosophical speculation and experiential spirituality, while suggesting broader parallels with other contemplative traditions.
