Proclus
Proclus Lycius (; 8 February 412 – 17 April 485), called
Proclus the Successor (, ''Próklos ho Diádokhos''), was a
Greek Neoplatonist philosopher, one of the last major classical philosophers of
late antiquity. He set forth one of the most elaborate and fully developed systems of Neoplatonism and, through later interpreters and translators, exerted an influence on
Byzantine philosophy,
early Islamic philosophy,
scholastic philosophy, and
German idealism, especially
G. W. F. Hegel, who called Proclus's ''Platonic Theology'' "the true turning point or transition from ancient to modern times, from ancient philosophy to Christianity."
