Logos

Words · Beliefs & concepts

A Greek word for speech, account, and later ‘reason’ or divine Word. Not mythos as story-speech, and not a logo as a brand mark.

Hermeticism

  • Logos appears in Hermeticism.

    The Corpus Hermeticum (Poimandres and related treatises) treats Logos as divine ordering speech and mind-word in Hermetic cosmogony. A late antique Hermetic Logos, not the Gospel Logos and not a bare ‘word’ dump.
