"ZUM DING AN SICH"=> THE FOCUS IS ON DENYS

In the back-and-forth of trying connections between WHAT DIONYSIUS IS SAYING, MARCEL IS SAYING, HEIDEGGER IS SAYING, 
 I am now in a back-track, RECOGNIZING THAT THESE ARE REALLY DIFFERENT KINDS OF FRAMING (IN TERMS OF SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY) IN PLURAL UTTERANCE.

The point is that-- apart from more-or-less-vague relatedness between the authors, the best linkage possible under any circumstances is to COMPARE, as well (and importantly) to CONTRAST; this can feasibly be done, with validity, but my connection-mental just prior to now, what has to be one-more-intermediate-connection, WAS THAT THERE IS SOME KIND OF (PLATONIC?) TYPOLOGY HERE, OR SAY ARCHETYPE/ANTITYPE RELATION BETWEEN ALL THESE ATTRACTIVE WRITERS' WISDOM.

"ZUM DING AN SICH"=> THE FOCUS IS ON DENYS, NOT THE MODERNS. Denys is a total "optimist" operating on the Platonic model that evil is merely the absence of good=> the PUNCTI, the punctures that stand out in reading the CD is the occasional mention of "hangover" post-ecstasy (KRAIPALEE/KRAIPALAOO=> MT 1033b, EP 9.1113c, the-latter MT 1033c, EP 9.1105B)) verily a feeling that I have "coming down"from my always-falsely-envisioned-ecstasies. Is the "hangover" "dizziness" from METHEE (I have from Thesaurus Linguae Graecae found several such dictionary and text references, see Classroom/Dionysius-Called-Areopagite in my opened Google Doc/Drive account). All the optimism about the beyond-reason Infinities, its glowing pleasure, jams up against "hangover," which over here implies a kind of NOSOS pathology.

Is this an "important" inclusion, or is it merely a flotsam washed up by a productive mind (DA)? In all from this vantage point, Denys has been studiously careful; he uses Christian expressions to speak (from Crypto/hiding) Platonism; KRAIPALEE actually does occur in Luke 21.34, PROSECHETE DE EAUTOIS, MEEPOTE BARUNTHOOSIN UMOON AI KARDIAI EN  K R A I P A L E E  KAI METHEE KAI MERIMAIS BIOOTIKAIS, KAI AIFNIDIOS EF' UMAS EPISTEE EE EEMERA EKEINEE, KJV=> (Words/Logia of Jesus) AND TAKE HEED TO YOURSELVES LEST AT ANY TIME YOUR HEARTS BE OVERCHARGED WITH  S U R F E I T I N G,  AND DRUNKENNESS, AND CARES OF THIS LIFE, AND SO THAT DAY COME UPON YOU UNAWARES." This speaking is about the Coming (Return) of the Son of Man, to be met with prayer and sobriety. If Denys still tries to be/show Christianity in the Ur-mode with Messiah Nazarene, it would still seem that while "surfeiting" is an excess next to (smiles!) "METH INTOXICATION," (here a term that is modern and a linguistic "fish out of water")(but appropriate association with "substance abuse" now!) Bauer Arndt Gingrich say that KRAIPELEE means "both carousing,intoxication," thence "drunken headache, hangover," since meaning "dizziness, staggering" with text "head ceases to function," and mentions citations in Aristophanes, Plutarch, Lucian,Soranus, Aretaeus, Herodian, Isaiah 24.20 (LXX) as well as Luke hereat; also "extravagance in drunkenness and carousing." In all, therefore, the NT one-time mention of KRAIPALEE seems more wrongful and pathological, and OF COURSE Denys tells us in each mention that there is malapropism in attributing such as this term to God.

Four mentions of "hangovering" in the Corpus would not seem much in more than 300 pages of text; but these seem "signal" to me-- that may be my own bias; to compare with other kinds of NOSOS I have taken references from the DN, and in each case a generic NOSOS would seem to be the-least-good from Good Beautiful (God). If this is a non-sequitur in Denys, a real possibility even for careful hu-mans, then take regard; in either assumption that "follows" positive mention of KRAIPALEE or not-so there at this stage of regard be only QUESTIONING. [The use of "semantic domains" per componential-analysis may parse-out clarity re what is meant in these four descriptive words for "hangovering."
