Plotinas Ir Proklas Apie Platono Timajo Demiurgą
Plotinus and Proclus on Plato’s Timaeus Demiurge

Summary/Abstract: The article presents an analysis of different interpretations by two Neoplatonic philosophers – Plotinus and Proclus – of Plato’s myth of the demiurge presented in the Timaeus. Plotinus identifies the main difficulties of interpretation and foresees a number of different possible ways of explaining them. He maintains an approach that emphasises wholeness and integrity of the hypostasis of Intellect. Proclus relates the different aspects of the demiurge to different phases of the development of the inner reality of Intellect. Especially symptomatic is Proclus’ interpretation of the role of life within the inner development of Intellect, in the course of which life always acquires new functions.
