Elements of Theology

Dive into the profound insights of The Elements of Theology (ΣΤΟΙΧΕΙΩΣΙΣ ΘΕΟΛΟΓΙΚΗ), crafted by the renowned Greek Neoplatonist philosopher Proclus (ΠΡΟΚΛΟΣ) and brilliantly translated by Thomas Taylor, who honored his youngest son with the name Thomas Proclus Taylor. This remarkable work comprises 211 thought-provoking propositions, each accompanied by a rigorous proof, beginning with the foundational concept of the One (divine Unity) and culminating in the exploration of individual souls descent into the material realm. Notably, Saint Thomas Aquinas acknowledged that the Liber de Causis (Book of Causes), once attributed to Aristotle, is actually a concise summary of the Elements of Theology, likely penned by an Arabic interpreter. - Summary adapted from Wikipedia by Geoffrey EdwardsCopyright Religious Texts and Commentary Philosophy Social Sciences Spirituality
