Proclus of Lycia (412-485) was one of the greatest philosophers of
antiquity, producing the most systematic version of late
Neoplatonic thought. He exercised enormous influence on Byzantine,
medieval, Renaissance and German Classical philosophy, ranking
among the top five of ancient philosophers in terms of the number
of preserved works. Despite this he is rarely studied now, the
enormous intricacy of his system making the reading of his
treatises difficult for beginners. This book provides the first
comprehensive introduction to all the basic areas of Proclus'
thought. It carefully guides the reader through his metaphysics,
theology, epistemology and theory of evil, as well as his
sophisticated philosophy of religion. It also sets Proclus in the
historical, social and religious context of late antiquity,
offering a synthetic account that will appeal to historians and
students of ancient religion.
