Today the name Socrates invokes a powerful idealization of wisdom and nobility that would surprise many of his contemporaries, who excoriated the philosopher for corrupting youth. The problem of who Socrates "really" was—the true history of his activities and beliefs—has long been thought insoluble, and most recent Socratic studies have instead focused on reconstructing his legacy and tracing his ideas through other philosophical traditions. But this scholarship has neglected to examine closely a period of philosophy that has much to reveal about what Socrates stood for and how he taught: the Neoplatonic tradition of the first six centuries C.E., which at times decried or denied his importance yet relied on his methods. In The Neoplatonic Socrates, leading scholars in classics and philosophy address this gap by examining Neoplatonic attitudes toward the Socratic method, Socratic love, Socrates's divine mission and moral example, and the much-debated issue of moral rectitude. Collectively, they demonstrate the importance of Socrates for the majority of Neoplatonists, a point that has often been questioned owing to the comparative neglect of surviving commentaries on the Alcibiades, Gorgias, Phaedo, and Phaedrus, in favor of dialogues dealing explicitly with metaphysical issues. Supplemented with a contextualizing introduction and a substantial appendix detailing where evidence for Socrates can be found in the extant literature, The Neoplatonic Socrates makes a clear case for the significant place Socrates held in the education and philosophy of late antiquity.

Les études des dernières décennies ont permis décennies ont permis de mieux mesurer la richesse et le foisonnement insoupçonnés de la tradition néoplatonicienne. Lieu de passage obligé et de remodelage aussi de toute la philosophique grecque classique (du platonisme, de l'aristotélisme et du stoïcisme notamment), le néoplatonisme, à travers les cultures arabes, le monde chrétien, la Renaissance et l'idéalisme allemand entre autres, a marqué d'une manière décisive toute notre culture. Comment, par exemple, imaginer le rôle de la transcendace dans la réflexion philosophique, le problème de la connaissance de soi ou du schéma triadique de la pensée, sans le recours à des auteurs tels que Plotin ou Proclus? Comment comprendre la complexité des liens unissant et séparant à la fois la philosopohie et la théologie, sans les développements capitaux qu'ont pu y apporter des auteurs tels que Porphyre, Jamblique ou Damascius? Que seraient aussi la mystique ou la théologie négative sans leurs apports décisifs? Les études rassemblées ici, témoins d'une rencontre annuelle de l'International Sociéty of Neoplatonic Studies tenue à Québec en 2006, permettront au lecteur de mieux mesurer l'importance de vaste domaine de recherche, aujourd'hui en plein chantier.

Showing the ontological importance of eros within the philosophical systems inspired by Plato, Dimitrios A. Vasilakis examines the notion of eros in key texts of the Neoplatonic philosophers, Plotinus, Proclus, and the Church Father, Dionysius the Areopagite. Outlining the divergences and convergences between the three brings forward the core idea of love as deficiency in Plotinus and charts how this is transformed into plenitude in Proclus and Dionysius. Does Proclus diverge from Plotinus in his hierarchical scheme of eros? Is the Dionysian hierarchy to be identified with Proclus' classification of love? By analysing The Enneads, III.5, the Commentary on the First Alcibiades and the Divine Names side by side, Vasilakis uses a wealth of modern scholarship, including contemporary Greek literature to explore these questions, tracing a clear historical line between the three seminal late antique thinkers.
