The One and the assumptions regarding it. An exposition of the dialectical method and examples. The First Principle and the other principles: the theory of oneness.
Proclus, one of the last great thinkers of Neoplatonic philosophy and ancient Greek philosophical thought in general, was born in Constantinople on February 8, 412 AD. Descendant of a wealthy family from Lycia, he studied at the best educational centers of his time, Alexandria, Constantinople, and Athens. There he came into contact with the Athenian Neoplatonic Academy, which captivated him definitively, and he became its director after the death of his teacher, Syrianus. He died in Athens on April 17, 485 AD and was buried near Lycabettus.
Living in a time of syncretic chaos, he would synthesize the entire preceding Neoplatonic philosophical tradition into a single complex system, influenced by Pythagorean, Aristotelian, and Stoic elements. In his system, he would unify the one god, the intelligible and the intelligible substances, magic, and various beings of a demonic nature, and in this form, he would pass it on to the scholastic Middle Ages.
His work is a fundamental source for any student of Neoplatonic philosophy, as well as for Plato himself, for whom he often proposes original and extremely interesting interpretations.
