The
hyperuranion
[1]
or
topos hyperuranios
[2]
(
Ancient Greek
:
?περουρ?νιον τ?πον
,
[3]
[4]
accusative
of ?περουρ?νιο? τ?πο?, "place beyond heaven"), which is also called
Platonic realm
, is a place in
heaven
where all ideas of real things are collected together.
[5]
As a perfect realm of
Forms
,
[3]
the hyperuranion is within Plato's view that the idea of a phenomenon is beyond the realm of real phenomena and that everything we experience in our lives is merely a copy of a perfect model.
[6]
It is described as higher than the gods since their
divinity
depended on the knowledge of the hyperuranion beings.
[4]
The hyperuranion doctrine is also a later
medieval
concept that claims God within the
Empyrean
exists outside of heaven and controls it as the
prime mover
from there for heaven even to be a part of the
moved
.
[1]
The French alchemist
Jean d'Espagnet
rejected the idea of hyperuranion in his work
Enchiridion
, where he maintained that nature is not divided into conceptual categories but exists in unity.
