Die "unartikulierbaren Begriffe" des Neuplatonikers Damaskios

Damascius (c. 462 after 538) was the last of the heads of the Platonic Academy, and the last systematic thinker of pagan antiquity. His philosophy seeks to understand the first principle beyond reality. The failure of all such attempts at understanding proves that the fundamental ideas of metaphysics are nothing less than inarticulable ideas (arrhetoi ennoiai), which attempt to express the unsayable without being able to do so.
