Proclus : An Introduction
Original language description
Proclus of Lycia (412-485) was one of the greatest philosophers of antiquity, producing the most systematic version of late Neoplatonic thought. He exercised enormous influence on Byzantine, medieval, Renaissance and German Classical philosophy, rankingamong the top five of ancient philosophers in terms of the quantity of preserved works. Despite this he is rarely studied nowadays, the enormous intricacy of his system making the reading of his treatises difficult for beginners. It is the task of this book to alter this and provide the first comprehensive introduction to all the basic areas of Proclus'' thought. Radek Chlup carefully guides the reader through Proclus'' metaphysics, theology, epistemology and theory of evil as well as his sophisticatedphilosophy of religion. He also takes care to set Proclus in the historical, social and religious context of late antiquity, offering a synthetic account that will appeal to historians and students of ancient religion.
