Dialectics and Time in Proclus
Keywords:
Proclus, Dialectics, time, intellectAbstract
According to Proclus, dialectics can be considered the properly human science, one which departs from an essentially temporal way. The human soul’s understanding is based on a partial and temporal way. Her understanding is limited to partial and temporal aspects. Temporality is thus the main feature of the soul as far as the intellect is concerned, and her understanding is logos, i.e., transitivity, the succession of thoughts which pass one to the other. Dialectics is logos that makes possible the overcoming of the unilaterality of a single temporal perspective. Time is a logical order, intellective, prior to the soul as it is prior to the universe.
