Agrippa von Nettesheim, Jan Kefer, neoplatonism, theurgy, magic, philosophy of religion

Článek se věnuje pojmu theurgie ve filosofickém a religiózním myšlení, a to v novoplatonismu, ale zejména v učení Heinricha Cornelia Agrippy z Nettesheimu, u nějž se theurgie stává jedním ze základních principů jeho uvažování a také významnou částí jeho filosofie náboženství.

The concept of theurgy is fundamentally linked to the philosophical and religious thought and is firmly anchored in the neoplatonism as a method of contact with the divine world. But there are not many scholars who dealt with theurgy in history. The paper offers the concept of theurgy of Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim (1486 - 1535), renaissance scholar and an important, however neglected figure of renaissance thought. Agrippa, in his work De occulta philosophia, which is based on ancient occult systems, natural philosophy and religious traditions, create a distinct form of pantheistic nature-based philosophy aimed at exploring and understanding of all (especially hidden) parts of the universe, mainly the spiritual and divine world. Theurgy thus becoming one of the fundamental principles of his thinking and also an important part of Agrippa's philosophy of religion.
