The Theology of Plato

4.2/5 ( ratings)

1816. Thomas Taylor was one of the outstanding translators of the philosophical writings of the Greeks and Romans, and also published several original works on philosophy and mathematics. Many of his important contributions in these fields have been long out-of-print and are extremely difficult to obtain, having been issued in very small editions. Most of Taylor's translations have an archaic elegance which preserves the spirit of the older authors in a manner not evident in more recent translations. Taylor also added notes and commentaries which give valuable insight into the essential meaning often obscure in the actual text. This is essentially a religious work by Proclus; - a near perfect attempt to express in a manner accessible to the reasoning mind, the universal order in, of, and around, all things. Taylor's is still the only translation available. See the many other works by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
