This is a post-Aristotelian Greek philosophical text, written at a
crucial moment in the defeat of paganism by Christianity, AD 529,
when the Emporor Justinian closed the pagan Neoplatonist school in
Athens. Philoponus in Alexandria was a brilliant Christian
philosopher, steeped in Neoplatanism, 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 1-5 are translated in this volume.
