This book aims to uncover Neoplatonism as an entangled global philosophy that has connected Europe with India for centuries. To demonstrate that argument, it delves into two notable instances ofsolar cults during the long sixteenth century. Both cases are examined through the lens of the longue-durée Great Tradition of Neoplatonism, taking off from the sun cult designed by the Roman Emperor Julian in the fourth century. The book also includes:
- Comprehensive analysis of solar worship traditions across cultures and civilizations
- Detailed examination of Mughal cosmology and millenarian beliefs in India
- In-depth study of Barberini solar cult practices in Renaissance Rome
- Comparative approach to understanding sun worship in different historical contexts
- Scholarly investigation of the longue durée of solar religious traditions
By exploring the intriguing parallels between these coinciding solar cults, this book advocates a truly global intellectual history that transcends the conventional boundaries of world religions and civilizations.
