2018-10-15 NSPRM - Proclus - Theology of Plato (Book 2, Chap 1) - The Power of the Not-One

Dialogue(s): theology-of-plato Chapters: book02;chap02 Sections: 13,14 Attendees: Pierre, JulieH, Barbara, David, Regina, Eldar, JeffS (going around the table clock-wise) Synopsis Pierre leads the Parmenides study group through the remaining part of Chapter 1 of Book 2 of Proclus' Theology of Plato (*). Pierre asks us: Was Parmenides right in starting with the One-Self?. This leads to a very close examination of the text, which requires a lot of unpacking (and we still need to go home and work more on it). But the 2nd half of talk spins off of this and is also quite enjoyable, working with some of the highest questions in Platonic metaphysics. Definitely a recording to to listen to and contemplate more than once. Change of schedule: For now, we are down to 2 days a week, and we have moved off of mornings and are going to try afternoons/evenings, to see how it goes. What Pierre initially wrote on the board at the beginning of the recording was his decision about the new hours we'll do, after he had compiled emails from all of us who regularly attend, about which days/hours we could make: Mon 3:30-5:30pm Thu 6-8pm So today's was at 3:30 to 5:30.
