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, ranking among the
top five of ancient philosophers in terms of the number of preserved
works. Despite this he is rarely studied now, the enormous intricacy of
his system making the reading of his treatises difficult for beginners.
This book provides the first comprehensive introduction to ail the
basic areas of Proclus’ thought. It carefully guides the reader through
his metaphysics, theology, epistemology, and theory of evil, as well
as his sophisticated philosophy of religion. It also sets 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.
