Damascius (/dəˈmæʃəs/; Greek: Δαμάσκιος, c. 458 – after 538), known as "the last of the Neoplatonists," was the last scholarch of the School of Athens.

His surviving works consist of three commentaries on the works of Plato, and a metaphysical text entitled Difficulties and Solutions of First Principles. ...more

Quotes by Damascius (?)

“Les uns préfèrent la philosophie, comme Porphyre, Plotin et beaucoup d'autres philosophes, les autres l'art hiératique, comme Jamblique, Syrianus, Proclus et tous les hiératiques. Mais Platon, s'étant rendu compte que, des deux côtés, les arguments sont forts, les a réunis en une seule vérité, en appelant le philosophe un bacchant.”
― Damascius
