Dexippus, a pupil or follower of lamblichus, preserves a crucial
moment in the Neoplatonist interpretation of Aristotle.
Aristotle's" Categories" has been attacked by Plotinus, but
Porphyry's defence proved decisive, so that the "Categories" was
acceptable as compatible with Platonism and an essential
introduction to the Neoplatonist curriculum. Porphyry's main
commentary on the "Categories," however, containing the vital
defence, is lost, as is that of his pupil lamblichus. The ideas of
these two principal Neoplatonists can be reconstructed, in part,
from Dexippus.
