Synopsis
Excerpt from The Commentaries of Proclus on the Timæus of Plato, in Five Books, Vol. 1 of 2: Containing a Treasury of Pythagoric and Platonic Physiology
When I speak however, of the perspicuity with which these particulars are developed, I do not mean that they are delivered in such a way, as to be obvious to every one, or that they may be apprehended as soon as read for this pertains only to the fungous and frivolous productions of the present day; but my mean ing is, that they are written with all the clearness, which they are naturally capa ble of admitting, or which agenrrine student of the philosophy' of Plato can desire. And this leads me to make some remarks on the iniquitous opinion which, since the revival of letters, has been generally entertained ofthe writings of l'roclrrs and other philosophers, who are distinguished by the appellation of the latter Plato his'ts', nurl to show the cause from which it originated.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the profound world of Platonic philosophy, specifically focusing on the Timaeus, one of Plato's most significant dialogues. It acts as a guide, elucidating the complexities of the Timaeus and placing it within the broader context of Pythagorean and Platonic thought. The author meticulously examines the dialogue's structure, exploring its threefold division that encompasses matter, form, and the ultimate causes of the universe ââ â the efficient, paradigmatic, and final causes. The book emphasizes the Timaeus's unique approach to understanding the cosmos, which goes beyond the material realm to incorporate the realm of ideas and divine principles. Readers are invited to explore the intricate relationship between the sensible world and the intelligible world, as well as the role of the Demiurge, the divine craftsman, in shaping the universe. The book delves into the concept of the World Soul, its harmonic ratios, and its connection to the cosmos. Additionally, it sheds light on the nature of the elements, the heavens, and celestial bodies, revealing the profound interconnectedness of all things. By illuminating the depths of Platonic cosmology, this book offers valuable insights into the fundamental questions of existence, purpose, and the harmonious order of the universe.
