This is one of the most interesting of all post-Aristotelian Greek
philosophical texts, written at a crucial moment in the defeat of
paganism by Christianity, AD 529, when the Emperor Justinian closed
the pagan Neoplatonist school in Athens. Philoponus in Alexandria
was a brilliant Christian philosopher, steeped in Neoplatonism, who
turned the pagans' ideas against them. Here he attacks the most
devout of the earlier Athenian pagan philosophers, Proclus,
defending the distinctively Christian view that the universe had a
beginning against Proclus' eighteen arguments to the contrary,
which are discussed in eighteen chapters. Chapters 6-8 are
translated in this volume.
