520 Proclus' commentary on Plato's ""Timaeus"" is perhaps the
most important surviving Neoplatonic commentary. In it
Proclus contemplates nature's mysterious origins and at
the same time employs the deductive rigour required to
address perennial philosophical questions. Nature, for him,
is both divine and mathematically transparent. He renders
theories of Time, Eternity, Providence, Evil, Soul and
Intellect and constructs an elaborate ontology that
includes mathematics and astronomy. He gives ample play to
pagan theology too, frequently lapsing into the arcane
language of the ""Chaldaean Oracles""
