The same as anagoge; a spiritual or mystical interpretation of a text that reveals divine meanings and elevates understanding toward the heavenly realm.
An alternative form of 'anagoge,' both derived from Greek 'anagoge.' English sometimes retains multiple forms from Greek words, and 'anagogy' represents a variant spelling that eventually became less common than 'anagoge.'
Medieval theology loved precision, yet they used both 'anagoge' and 'anagogy' interchangeably—showing that even in serious scholarship, language evolves and multiple terms can coexist for the same concept, much like how we say 'doughnut' and 'donut' today.
