The two extant works of Constantine the Philosopher of Nicaea reveal a late twelfth century thinker of the Neoplatonic sensibility typically seen only in those who reached the pinnacle of Byzantine literacy during this period. We argue that he is of particular interest because he coined two philosophical terms that, while mirroring controversial Neoplatonic concepts, better accommodate their Orthodox acceptance.We offer here some background on the author, a short discussion of the philosophical content of these works, and for the first time an English translation of both texts.

君士坦丁的哲学尼西亚的哲学家

尼西亚哲学家君士坦丁现存的两部作品揭示了十二世纪晚期对新柏拉图式敏感性的思想家，通常仅在这一时期达到拜占庭素养巅峰的人才能看到。我们认为他之所以特别有趣，是因为他创造了两个哲学术语，在反映有争议的新柏拉图概念时，更好地适应了它们的正统观念。第一次将两种文本都翻译成英文。
