Six Books Of Proclus, The Platonic Successor, On The Theology Of Plato

Six Books of Proclus, the Platonic Successor, on the Theology of Plato

by Thomas Taylor

This book is a translation of Proclus's seminal work, "The Theology of Plato." Proclus, a 5th-century Neoplatonist philosopher, aimed to present a systematic exposition of Plato's teachings on the divine and the structure of reality. The work explores the nature of God, the hierarchy of beings, the creation of the cosmos, and the path of spiritual ascent. Through a series of arguments and elucidations, Proclus seeks to illuminate the profound philosophical and theological insights contained in Plato's writings, offering a comprehensive understanding of Platonic metaphysics and its implications for human life.
