Summary/Abstract: The article makes an attempt to present a general outline of Hegel’s interpreta- tion of Proclos’s philosophy contrasted with an alternative explicative model based on the fundamental for Neoplatonism assumption of Unity transcendence. Hegel’s understanding of general categories of Proclos’s Neoplatonism was presented in the context of thoughts expressed by a German philosopher and Plato’s inspirations in- cluded in them. The second part of the article constitutes an interpretation of funda- mental problems of Proclos’s philosophy, especially the one of Unity and the principle of indefiniteness, referring to the source engrossment of his thought in Plato’s tradition and showing inadequacy of Hegel’s solutions.
