Reading Proclus and the Book of Causes, Volume 3
On Causes and the Noetic Triad
Series:
Editor:
Reading Proclus and the Book of Causes, published in three volumes, is a fresh, comprehensive understanding of the history of Neoplatonism from the 9th to the 16th century. This third volume gathers contributions on key concepts of the Platonic tradition (Proclus, Plotinus, Porphyry or Sallustius) inherited and reinterpreted by Arabic (e.g. Avicenna, the Book of Causes), Byzantine (e.g. Maximus the Confessor, Ioane Petritsi) and Latin authors (e.g. Albert the Great, Thomas Aquinas, Berthold of Moosburg, Marsilio Ficino etc.). Two major themes are presently studied: causality (in respect to the One, the henads, the self-constituted substances and the first being) and the noetic triad (being-life-intellect).
Dragos Calma, Ph.D. (2008), Sorbonne University â Paris, is Associate Professor of Medieval Philosophy at University College Dublin. On Neoplatonism, he has published Neoplatonism in the Middle Ages (Brepols, 2 vols, 2016), Reading Proclus and the Book of Causes (Brill, 3 vols, 2019-2021) and, in collaboration with Evan King, The Renewal of Medieval Metaphysics. Berthold of Moosburgâs Expositio on Proclusâ Elements of Theology (Brill, 2021).
"The present set of three volumes serves as a valuable supplement to some of the recent general studies of Proclusâ influence by collecting detailed evidence regarding the transmission and reconfiguration of his doctrines in many later writers. [...] There are no really weak links in the chain, even including the writings of the younger scholars. The general level of the best contributions is extremely high, and Dragos Calma is to be congratulated in assembling such a collection and bringing this remarkable set of three volumes to its conclusion." - Stephen E. Gersh, Aestimatio, Vol. 3 no. 1 (2022).
