The Two Treatises Of Proclus PDF Download

Excerpt from Two Treatises of Proclus, the Platonic Successor: The Former Consisting of Ten Doubts Concerning Providence, and a Solution of Those Doubts; And the Latter Containing a Development of the Nature of Evil No subjects of discussion are perhaps more interesting or more important than those of which the present volume consists. For whet can more demand our most serious attention, or what can be more essential to the well-being of our immortal part, than a scientific elucidation and defence of the mysterious ways of Providence, and a development of the nature of Evil? For as Divinity is goodness itself it is requisite that all the dispensations of his providence should be beneficent, and that perfect evil should have no real existence in the nature of things. That this is necessary, is demonstrated by Proclus in the following Treatises with his usual acuteness and eloquence, by arguments which are no less admirable for their perspicuity, than invincible from their strength.
