Gregory, Triads A,B: Philosophy Does Not Save

Are we then to say that those who hold such a philosophy possess the wisdom of God, or even a human wisdom in general?...In my estimation, this "wisdom" is not even worthy of the appellation "human"...

What then should be the work and the goal of those who seek wisdom of God in creatures?  Is it not the acquisition of the truth and the glorification of the Creator? 

It's clear Gregory doesn't think that philosophy saves.  At one point he goes so far as to call it "demonic".  That's a bit of a stretch, in my opinion.  But why would he do that? Philosophy, he thinks, doesn't lead to a glorification of God.  Somehow this has to work into his entire body of theology.  So here's what I want to say:  Gregory, as stated above, doesn't think philosophy possesses the wisdom of God; in fact, it cannot, since it does not lead to the glorification of God and acquisition of truth in God.

Part of Gregory's theology is that we are "in Christ" in such a way that we experience him.  Due to his apophatic beliefs, we do not experience him in some of of systematic theology or mere intellectual assent, but something altogether different.  I want to call it a mingling of energies.  In so doing, we need much more than truths about God.  We must encounter God.  What philosophy does is objectifies God in such a way that he is not experienced or contemplated; rather, he is just thought about.  Due to this as the aim of his full theology, Gregory thinks philosophy not only does not save, but is demonic.  From his framework it makes perfect sense, even if it isn't necessarily right.
