Constantinople. He studied at Alexandria and at Athens, where he was a pupil of the Platonist Syrianus, whom he succeeded as a teacher. As a partisan of paganism he was forced to leave Athens, but he returned at the end of a year. A synthesizer of Neoplatonic doctrines, Proclus gave the philosophy its most systematic form. He kept the elements of Plotinus, but introduced a principle of triadic development in the series of emanations; the three stages are an original, an emergence from the original, and a return in a lower form to the original. Proclus differed from Plotinus in regard to the origin of matter, which he held to emerge from the first emanation rather than from the plastic forces. Among his writings are commentaries on several Platonic dialogues and two treatises

Proclus Uit Wikipedia, de vrije encyclopedie Ga naar: navigatie zoeken Proclus Diadochus 8 februari te Constantinopel - † 17 april te Athene was een Grieks Neo-Platonisch filosoof en wiskundige Zijn ouders, Patricius en Marcella, stamden uit Lyci« en bekleedden daar een hoge positie. Proclus groeide op in Xanthos aan de Lycische kust, maar later werd zijn vader een vooraanstaand juridisch medewerker aan het hof van Byzantium . Hij volgde zijn vader echter niet in zijn voetsporen, want eenmaal in Alexandri« om daar rechten te studeren, besloot hij dat de filosofie zijn roeping was. Hij werd een leerling van Olympiodorus de Oudere en deed een gedegen onderzoek van de werken van Aristoteles . Hij ging daarna naar Athene om er de werken van Plato te bestuderen. Na de dood van Syrianus volgde hij deze op als hoofd van de Academie van Athene Hij had een hoge dunk van de wiskunde en doceerde het onderwerp ook. Hij zag wiskunde echter vooral als 'propedeuse', dat wil zeggen als een goede oefening in het logisch denken, dat daarom zijn nut als voorbereiding had op het filosofisch denken. Hij voerde een ascetisch leven, was ongehuwd, at geen vlees en schreef hymnes aan de goden, waarvan er een aantal nog bewaard zijn. Hij was een volgeling van de

Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2006.01.31 Michael Share (trans.), Philoponus. Against Proclus's "On the Eternity of the World 1-5." The Ancient Commentators on Aristotle . Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 2005. Pp. ix, 154. ISBN 0-8014-4214-1. $72.50. Reviewed by Wayne J. Hankey, Dalhousie University and King's College, Halifax (hankeywj@dal.ca) Word count: 1993 words The careful and expert scholarship of this well annotated translation, and the judicious argument of its eagerly anticipated introduction, make this volume even more welcome than the importance of the arguments of Philoponus and the influence of this treatise in the subsequent history themselves demand. It consists of the first five of the 18 arguments of Proclus (410-485 AD), one of the Neoplatonic "successors" of Plato as head of the Academy in Athens, for the eternity of the world, together with part of the first and the full text of the other four attempted refutations by John Philoponus (c. 490-570 AD), a Neoplatonic philosopher and Christian from birth (of the Monophysite persuasion) working in Alexandria, where, in contradistinction from Athens, such a combination was possible. In his Preface, Richard Sorabji, the General Editor of the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series, points to "original arguments and ideas in these chapters" (p. vii). These Sorabji locates 1) in the use by Philoponus against Proclus of Aristotle's concept of infinity, 2) in the notions that an eternal blueprint belonging to the divine mind need not have an eternal effect and that willing a change does not require a change in the divine will (both possible deductions from the general Neoplatonist principle, here associated with Iamblichus, that a thing is known according to the mode of the knower), and 3) in the notion of a "when" without time. There are new ideas in Philoponus as Helen Lang has shown
