Description

Experience the peak of Neoplatonic thought with this definitive translation of Proclus, the philosopher who synthesized Plato's teachings into a rigorous, mystical system. In The Six Books of Proclus on the Theology of Plato, you will trace the profound journey from Platonic metaphysics to the intricate ontological structures that defined late antiquity. This is not just a philosophical treatise; it is a spiritual architecture of the cosmos, revealing the unity of being through the lens of one of history's most formidable thinkers.\n\nThis edition is specially prepared for modern readers. The translator has added a seventh book — a reconstruction based on fragments — to replace a lost volume and complete the philosophical argument. The text has been carefully rendered from the original Greek, preserving the complexity of Proclus's thought while making it accessible to contemporary students of philosophy. Whether you are a dedicated scholar or a serious student of Platonic philosophy, this translation offers the depth and clarity necessary to engage with one of the most important philosophical works ever written.
