Sažetak
Petric's "lux", in a similar wey, was not onli a sensible image of a rational emanative process, but is original Goodd itself, manifested in the otherness of plurality. However, taken as a whole, Petrić0s philosophical system, based as it was on the total presence of light, extending grom God, the 'Father of light0, op to the body, is not emanative. This is because light did not degrade itself by entering into the world of diversity and materiality, but was affirmed by its 'dscent'as the creative power. Lighr permeates the entire universe, corporeal and non-corporeal, and as the main carrier of cosmic energy becomes the basis of communication troughout the universe. Physical ligt is onli the revelation of divine light, wich constitutes the unity of the physical, psychic, and spiritual processes.
