Original hardcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. IX, 280 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Overall very good and clean. - Contents: 1. Proclus's Doctrine of Evil -- 2. Evil as Privation -- Evil as Privation: The Body -- 3. Evil as Disorderly Motion -- 4. Irrational Nature -- Evil as Privation: The Soul -- 5. The Evil World Soul -- 6. Evil as Weakness of the Human Soul. - This study places the doctrine of evil of the Neoplatonist Proclus in its proper context, the exegetical tradition as it developed within the various schools of ancient Platonism, from Middle Platonism to early Neoplatonism. With regard to the evil of the body, there are chapters on the various interpretations of Plato's notion of a pre-cosmic disorderly motion as the source of corporeal evil and on the role of what Platonists referred to as an irrational Nature in the origin of that motion. As for evil of the soul, there are chapters dealing with the concept of an evil World Soul and with the view that the evil that is ascribed to the human soul is a form of psychological weakness. - John Phillips, Ph.D. (1980) in Classics, University of Wisconsin, is Professor of Classics and Philosophy at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. His publications on Neoplatonism and the history of Platonism have appeared in Phronesis, Classical Quarterly, and Journal of the History of Philosophy.
