This early Christian thinker, also known as Pseudo-Dionysius, belonged to the Neoplatonist school and shaped theological and philosophical thought at the turn of the 5th and 6th centuries. His work is characterized by a profound connection between mysticism and reason, where he attempts to describe the unknowable through analogies and symbols. He emphasizes the hierarchical structure of being and the soul's journey towards God. His influence on later Christian mysticism and philosophy was exceptionally deep.
