2019-01-10 NSPRM - Proclus - Theology of Plato (Book 3, Chap 4)

Synopsis Pierre leads the Noetic Society Parmenides study group through another morning of study. Lately we've been taking a break from the Parmenides, going through Proclus' Theology of Plato (*) instead, in order to see how Proclus lays out the 14 orders of gods implied in the Parmenides. We first had a discussion about 'grades' on the assignment Pierre posted last time . Then we read Book 3, Chapter 4, and Pierre charted it. (Two charts.) At the end, in a separate discussion, Pierre gives some more hints about the homework one must do in order to understand the Parmenides.
