This important collection of original essays is the first to
concentrate at length on how the ancients responded to the
challenge of reading and interpreting Plato, primarily between 100
BC and AD, edited by Lloyd Gerson, University of Toronto; 600. It
incorporates the fruits of recent research into late antique
philosophy, in particular its approach to hermeneutical problems.
While a number of prominent figures, including Apuleius, Galen,
Plotinus, Porphyry and lamblichus, receive detailed attention,
several essays concentrate on the important figure of Proclus, in
whom Neoplatonic interpretation of Plato reaches it most
impressive, most surprising and most challenging form. The essays
appear in chronological of their focal interpreters, giving a sense
of the development of Platonist exegesis in this period. Reflecting
their devotion to a common theme, the essays have been carefully
edited and are presented with a composite bibliography and indices.
