[QUOTE="LiraTirsoCaduceo, post: 109594, member: 7749"] Do you mind me asking about your disagreements with Assmann? I recently came across him in Algis Uždavinys' book "Philosophy as a Rite of Rebirth: From Ancient Egypt to Neoplatonism" where he mentions Assmann's concept of "Counter-Religions" in passing. I found the concept interesting, so I was planning on reading one of Assman's book, either "Moses the Egyptian" or "The Price of Monotheism". I will admit I don't know much about Egyptology as much as I should, but my understing of late-antiquity religion, or at least Platonism which is what I like to read about, is that magic, or more specifically theurgy, is part of religion. Just as myth or theology are, but there's an obvious distinction between something like a myth, a text on philosophy, and a text describing a theurgic rite. What do you think about that conception?
