Proclus Diadochus
POET, PHILOSOPHER, AND SCIENTIST, Proclus (412-485 C.E.) was one of the last official teachers of the Platonic Academy in Athens, before the teaching of philosophy was legally forbidden in 529 by edict of the Emperor Justinian. Besides his philosophical and scientific achievements, the modern reader is impressed by Proclus's religious universalism, for Proclus believed that the true philosopher should pay homage to the gods of all nations, becoming "a priest of the entire universe."
