In the present volume Proclus describes the 'creation' of the soul
that animates the entire universe. This is not a literal creation,
for Proclus argues that Plato means only to convey the eternal
dependence of the World Soul upon higher causes. In his exegesis of
Plato's text, Proclus addresses a range of issues in Pythagorean
harmonic theory, as well as questions about the way in which the
World Soul knows both forms and the visible reality that comprises
its body. This part of Proclus' Commentary is particularly
responsive to the interpretive tradition that precedes it. As a
result, this volume is especially significant for the study of the
Platonic tradition from the earliest commentators onwards.
