Apoloniusz z Tiany cytaty

Apoloniusz z Tiany, Apollonios z Tyany – neopitagorejski filozof, założyciel szkoły pitagorejskiej w Efezie.

Uważany był za pośrednika między bogami i ludźmi, cudotwórcę, czarownika i proroka. Wiele podróżował , gdzie zdobył rozległą wiedzę o religiach i filozofii wschodniej. Doktrynę braminów próbował pogodzić z nauką Pitagorasa. Uznaje się go za religijnego wyznawcę neopitagoreizmu i teozoficznego gnostyka. Był autorem biografii Pitagorasa oraz księgi zatytułowanej „O ofiarach” . Zachowały się także „Listy” Apoloniusza, jednak autorstwo ich bywa podważane. Przypisywano mu też odnalezienie i opublikowanie Tablicy szmaragdowej - jednego z najważniejszych tekstów alchemicznych i ezoterycznych. Współczesne badania uznają ją jednak za utwór pochodzenia arabskiego, najwcześniej poświadczony u Balinusa , który jest czasami określany jako "pseudo-Apoloniusz z Tiany".

Jego działalność wśród społeczeństwa przyczyniła się do jego sławy jako cudotwórcy. Miał on nauczać, uzdrawiać chorych i reformować kulty. Jego zadziwiające czyny zyskały mu sławę człowieka obdarzonego boskością. On sam podawał się za Syna Bożego.

Jego zadziwiające życie i czyny przedstawił w Żywocie Apolloniosa z Tyany Flawiusz Filostrat na polecenie cesarzowej Julii Domny w III. stuleciu naszej ery jako idealny obraz greckiego filozofa.

Apollonius of Tyana

to Euphrates, Epp. Apoll. 18
Letters

“[Some] disobey the earth and sharpen knives against the animals to gain clothing and food. The Indian Brahmans disapproved of this personally and taught the Naked Philosophers of Egypt to disapprove of it too. From there Pythagoras, who was the first Greek to associate with Egyptians, borrowed the principle. He let the earth keep living creatures, but held that what the earth grows is pure, and so lived off that because it was sufficient to feed body and soul. Clothing made from dead creatures, which most people wear, he considered impure; he dressed in linen and, for the same reason, made his shoes of plaited bark. He derived many advantages from this purity, above all that of perceiving his own soul.”
