Overview
This is the first of two volumes dealing with the concept of ""henosis"" in and with God in the work of Dionysius the Areopagite. It begins with an introduction to ""Les Noms Devins"", dealing with questions of language and translation, their origin, the structure of Dionysius' work, and Platonic and Christian theology. Also examined is the impact of Dionysius' work on medieval thinkers like Thomas Aquinas and Albertus Magnus. The author discusses the solutions for the translation of henosis in the Corpus Dionysiacum, and deals extensively with related terms like ""henotes"", ""henade"" and ""hen"".
