Description

Damascius’ Commentary on the Phaedo is in fact two sets of notes which cover a large part of the dialogue. In these, Damascius builds upon the (now lost) Commentary of Proclus, using the traditional late Platonic approach of dialectic, mythological interpretation and initiatory insights. Damascius was the last head of the Platonic Academy in Athens: Westerink’s scholarly work represents one of the most extensive writings of Damascius to be translated into English.
