2019-05-01 NSPRM - Proclus - Theology of Plato (Book 5, Chapters 6-9)

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 5, Chapters 6-9. The greek terms were: αὐτόματα "acting of one's own will, of oneself, self acting" Thomas translated this 2 or three times in Chapter as "spontaneous". αὐτοφυεῖς "Self grown, self producing, bearing of itself" Thomas translated at the end of Chapter 7 as "native".
