6. Euclid's Geometry: Proclus proclus was trained at Alexandria and then moved to Athens, where he devoted himself to NeoPlatonic philosophy, and became the head of that school http://mathforum.org/geometry/wwweuclid/proclus.htm

5. Proclus: 410-485 A.D. Proclus was trained at Alexandria and then moved to Athens, where he devoted himself to Neo-Platonic philosophy, and became the head of that school: Though he esteemed mathematics highly, it was only as a handmaid to philosophy. He quotes Plato's opinion to the effect that "mathematics, as making use of hypotheses, falls short of the non-hypothetical and perfect science." And again, while "mathematical science must be considered desirable in itself, though not with reference to the needs of daily life, if it is necessary to refer the benefit arising from it to something else, we must connect that benefit with intellectual knowledge, to which it leads the way and is a propaedeutic, clearing the eye of the soul and taking away the impediments which the senses place in the way of the knowledge of universals." We know that in the Neo-Platonic school the younger pupils learnt mathematics; and it is clear that Proclus taught this subject, and that this was the origin of the commentary. Heath

The Life of Proclus or Concerning Happiness Being the Biographical Account of an Ancient Greek Philosopher Who Was Innately Loved by the Gods by Marinus of Samaria Translated by Kenneth S. Guthrie P OET, PHILOSOPHER, AND SCIENTIST, Proclus (412-485 C.E.) was one of the last official teachers of the Platonic Academy in Athens, before the teaching of philosophy was legally forbidden in 529 by edict of the Emperor Justinian. Besides his philosophical and scientific achievements, the modern reader is impressed by Proclus's religious universalism, for Proclus believed that the true philosopher should pay homage to the gods of all nations, becoming "a priest of the entire universe." Initiated into the mysteries of Greece and other lands, Proclus fasted in honor of the Egyptian divinities, practiced the sacred art of theurgy (a type of philosophical "magic"), and opposed the Christian expectation of the end of the world, for which he was temporarily banished. Whereas most men have to acquire the principle virtues through long effort, Proclus seemd to innately possess them since birth. His student and biographer Marinus of Samaria stated that he was inspired, and that when philosophizing his countenance shone with preternatural light. This volume contains the inspiring biography of "this really blessed man," and its publication marks the exact 1,500 year anniversary of when it was first written. Also included are Five Hymns of Proclus translated by Thomas Taylor, a complete listing of Proclus's voluminous writings, and an introduction by John Michell.

11. CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Proclus Patriarch of Constantinople, disciple of St. John Chrysostom, and died in 446 or 447. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12449b.htm

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... P > St. Proclus St. Proclus Patriarch of Constantinople. Saint Proclus died in 446 or 447. Proclus came to the fore in the time of Atticus , the Patriarch of Constantinople who succeeded (406) Arsacius who had been intruded upon the patriarchal throne after the violent deposition of St. John Chrysostom (404). "Proclus was a Lector at a very early age, and, assiduously frequenting the Schools, became devoted to the study of rhetoric. On attaining manhood he was in the habit of constant intercourse with Atticus , having been constituted his secretary" ( Socrates , "H.E.", VII, xl). From Atticus he received the diaconate and priesthood (ibid.). When Atticus died (425), there was a strong party in favour of Proclus, but Sissinius was eventually chosen as his successor. Sissinius appointed him Archbishop of Cyzicus ; but the Cyzicans chose a bishop of their own, and no attempt was made to force Proclus upon a reluctant people. Sissinius died at the end of 427, and again Proclus was likely to be appointed to the patriarchate , but eventually Nestorius was chosen.

14. Proclus Diadochus proclus Diadochus, AD 410485. (From his book Commentary on Euclid s Elements I). We must next speak of the origin of geometry in the present world cycle. http://galileoandeinstein.physics.virginia.edu/lectures/proclus.html

Early Geometry Proclus Diadochus, AD 410-485. (From his book: Commentary on Euclid's Elements I It was Thales, who, after a visit to Egypt, first brought this study to Greece. Not only did he make numerous discoveries himself, but laid the foundation for many other discoveries on the part of his successors, attacking some problems with greater generality and others more empirically. After him Mamercus the brother of the poet Stesichorus, is said to have embraced the study of geometry, and in fact Hippias of Elis writes that he achieved fame in that study. After these Pythagoras changed the study of geometry, giving it the form of a liberal discipline, seeking its first principles in ultimate ideas, and investigating its theorems abstractly and in a purely intellectual way. [He then mentions several who developed this abstract approach further: Anaxagoras, Hippocrates, Theodorus, etc.] Plato, who lived after Hippocrates and Theodorus, stimulated to a very high degree the study of mathematics and of geometry in particular because of his zealous interest in these subjects. For he filled his works with mathematical discussions, as is well known, and everywhere sought to awaken admiration for mathematics in students of philosophy. [He then lists several mathematicians, including Eudoxus and Theatetus, who discovered many new geometric theorems, and began to arrange them in logical sequences-this process culminated in the work of Euclid, called his

16. 20th WCP: Mathematics As Paideia In Proclus ABSTRACT I examine one aspect of the central role which mathematics plays in proclus s ontology and epistemology, with particular reference to his Elements http://www.bu.edu/wcp/Papers/Anci/AnciClea.htm

Ancient Philosophy Mathematics as Paideia in Proclus John J. Cleary cleary@bc.edu ABSTRACT: I examine one aspect of the central role which mathematics plays in Proclus's ontology and epistemology, with particular reference to his Elements of Theology . I focus on his peculiar views about the ontological status of mathematical objects and the special faculties of the soul that are involved in understanding them. If they are merely abstract objects that are "stripped away" from sensible things, then they are unlikely to reorient the mind towards the intelligible realm, as envisioned by Plato in the Republic . Thus, in order to defend the function of mathematics as a prodaideutic to dialectic, Proclus rejects Aristotelian abstractionism in favor of an elaborate account in terms of Nous projecting images of its Forms through the medium of the imagination. In metaphorical terms, he replaces the Aristotelian image of the soul as a blank tablet with that of a tablet that has always been inscribed and is always writing itself, while also being written on by Nous . The mediating function of mathematics for understanding the higher realities is grounded in the fact that its central principles of Limit and Unlimited have a universal provenance in Proclus's whole system of reality. Introduction Most people who have written about Proclus's commentary on the first book of Euclid's

In this essay I will present a few Elements which abstract Proclus' argument. This presentation will pass quickly to a critique. The critique brings Proclus' image of the soul into focus, as it disentangles the knot of his immortality argument. thought , in the preparatory conclusion of Chapter 7. Many readers may imagine the critical material to be unnecessary, or even pointless. It is neither; but here I think a longwinded explanation would take us too far afield, so I'll refrain.

Proclus' Commentary on the Timaeus of Plato Translated by Thomas Taylor ISBN 1 898910 14 6 and 1 898910 15 4 Click here to return to the home page Click here to return to the main catalogue From volume 15 of the Thomas Taylor Series, p. 195 to 239. Proclus on the Gods, prayer and perception. [64A to 79B] The divine Iamblichus however, does not think that a history of this kind pertains to what is here proposed to be considered. For Plato is not now speaking about atheistical men, but about such as are wise, and able to converse with the Gods. Nor does he speak of such as are dubious about the works of piety; but to such as wish to be saved by those who are the saviours of wholes, he delivers the power of prayer, and its admirable and supernatural perfection which transcends all expectation. But to this conversion prayer is of the greatest utility. For it attracts to itself the beneficence of the Gods, through those ineffable symbols which the father of souls has disseminated in them. It likewise unites those who pray with those to whom prayer is addressed; conjoins the intellect of the Gods with the words of those who pray; excites the will of those who perfectly comprehend good to the abundant communication of it; is the fabricator of divine persuasion; and establishes in the Gods all that we possess. Tim. "But, O Socrates, all such as participate but in the least degree of temperance, [i.e. wisdom] in the impulse to every undertaking, whether small or great, always invoke divinity."
