2018-11-05 NSPRM - Proclus - Theology of Plato (Book 2, Chap 2) - That By Which It Is Participated

Dialogue(s): theology-of-plato Chapters: book02;chap02 Attendees: Pierre, Barbara, JulieH, Regina, David, Eldar, JeffS Synopsis Pierre leads the NS Parmenides study group through another day of study of Proclus' Theology of Plato(*) . After some warm-up chit-chat and Iliad discussion, we try to start into Book 2, Chapter 3, but JeffS brings up a contradiction he sees with that passage and a passage in Chapter 2 preceding. So we go into it, and spend the rest of the session looking at a sentence Pierre began with (in Chap2), immediately preceding the sentence JeffS was having a problem with. The difficulty was essentially with the issue of participating in a fundamental cause. Pierre also brought up the One participating Ousia as another model. In the end we did not resolve it (for now). 0:00:30 Initial chit-chat 0:12:10 Pierre reading from Juan and Maria's translation of the Iliad (Book 2, line 330 I believe), regarding 'The Olympian Self'. 0:21:55 We start in with reading Book 2, chapter 3 of the Theology of Plato 1:56:50 end of discussion, final chit-chat More Info (*) Proclus' Theology of Plato (Thomas Taylor translation): Volume Eight in the Thomas Taylor series, ISBN-10: 978-1
