Proclus was the most important philosopher of late antiquity, a dominant (albeit controversial) voice in Byzantine thought, the second most influential Greek philosopher in the later western Middle Ages (after Aristotle), and a major figure (together with Plotinus) in the revival of Greek philosophy in the Renaissance. Proclus was also intensively studied in the Islamic world of the Middle Ages and was a major influence on the thought of medieval Georgia. The volume begins with a substantial essay by the editor summarizing the entire history of Proclus' reception. This is followed by the essays of more than a dozen of the world's leading authorities in the various specific areas covered"-- | | Subject | : | Proclus,approximately 410-485. | | | Proclus,ca. 411-ca. 485. | | Subject | : | PHILOSOPHY / History & Surveys / Ancient & Classical. | | Dewey Classification | : | 186/.4 | | LC Classification | : | B701.Z7I58 2014 | | Added Entry | : | Gersh, Stephen. | | Parallel Title | : | From antiquity to the renaissance |
