2019-01-20 NSPRM - Proclus - Theology of Plato (Book 3, Chaps 10-12) - Where to Put Eternity

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. Today we read Book 3, Chapters 10-12. Reading and study-proper starts at about 0:09:17, with Chapter 10. This session was working my last nerve, and I have a feeling I was not the only one. I really do not like the ambiguity, imprecision, and contradictions in this text. Even Pierre had to agree there were problems with Chapter 11. At least there was a cool lunar eclipse I could go outside to look at (with David, who brought his binoculars). Awesome.
