AREOPAGITE. A senator, or a judge of the Areopagus. Solon first established the Areopagites; although some say, they were established in the time of Cecrops, (Anno Mundi, 2553,) the year that Aaron, the brother of Moses, died; that Draco abolished the order, and Solon reestablished it. Demosthenes, in his harangue against Aristocrates, before the Areopagus, speaks of the founders of that tribunal as unknown. See Acts of the Apostles, xviii. 34. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | The Areopagite was furthermore the first to introduce the concept of "unknown knowing" to the Western world. In the sixth century Dionysius the Areopagite emphasized the superiority of mystical knowledge--which does not rely on words or reason--over a purely rational knowledge of God. Therefore it did not come as a shock when, in the sixth century, there appeared a corpus of Greek writings that seemed to have blended Christian and Neoplatonic elements almost indiscriminately and that bore the name of Dionysius the Areopagite. |
