Proclus

Autor Proclus Editat de David. T. Runia, Michael Share
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 oct 2017
This volume of Proclus' commentary on Plato's Timaeus records Proclus' exegesis of Timaeus 27a–31b, in which Plato first discusses preliminary matters that precede his account of the creation of the universe, and then moves to the account of the creation of the universe as a totality. For Proclus this text is a grand opportunity to reflect on the nature of causation as it relates to the physical reality of our cosmos. The commentary deals with many subjects that have been of central interest to philosophers from Plato's time onwards, such as the question whether the cosmos was created in time, and the nature of evil as it relates to physical reality and its ontological imperfection.

Recenzii

'the four volumes of the Camridge translation of Proclus' commentary on the Timaeus are undoubtedly a major contribution to scholarship on Proclus. They are a wonderful compliment to the expanding scholarly literature on the philosophy of nature and cosmology in Neoplatonism, which enjoys in recent year a renewed scholarly interest.'
