The perfection of the Socratic theory of Ideas by Parmenides. Are there Ideas? Which things have Ideas and which do not. The way in which the sensory engage with the Ideas. Where the Ideas are located.
Proclus, one of the last great thinkers of Neoplatonic philosophy and of ancient Greek philosophical thought in general, was born in Constantinople on February 8, 412 AD. He came from a wealthy family from Lycia and studied at the best educational centers of his time: Alexandria, Constantinople, and Athens.
There, he came into contact with the Athenian Neoplatonic Academy, which he was forever captivated by and 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 Neoplatonic philosophical tradition that preceded him into a single and complex system, influenced by Pythagorean, Aristotelian, and Stoic elements; in his system, he would gather the one God, the intelligible and the intellectual substances, magic, and various demonic beings, and in this form, he would hand it down to the scholastic Middle Ages.
His work is a key source for any student of Neoplatonic philosophy, as well as for Plato himself, whose interpretations he often presents in original and extremely interesting ways.
