• Title:
  Secrets of Wisdom: Making Possible Connections Between Ancient Egyptian Wisdom Literature and Neoplatonic Political Philosophy
• Creator:
  Zhang-Czabanowski, Wojciech Wilhelm
• Description:
  The aim of this article is to examine whether there are connections between the wisdom literature of Ancient Egypt and Neoplatonic political philosophy. Using the definitione of political philosophy proposed by Dominic O’Meara, I try to show that Egyptian texts meet this definition. I then compare Neoplatonic political philosophy and Egyptian wisdom literature, showing similarities and common elements. In the rest of the article, I hypothesize that common threads with Egyptian texts may depend on Egyptian thought. At the end of the article I conclude that the fact that Plotinus’ teacher was Ammonius Saccas may explain this.
