On Tim. 37e1-38b5. Proclus on the (Tensed) Language of Time

Abstract Right after “Plato’s definition of Time,” Timaeus focuses on the way we do (and should) speak about what always is and what always changes. The compact passage Tim . 37e1-38b5 leaves many interpretative questions open. In this paper, I shall look at the way Proclus asks and answers them in his Commentary on the Timaeus ( in Tim . IV 34.14-49.19).

Abstract

Abstract Right after “Plato’s definition of Time,” Timaeus focuses on the way we do (and should) speak about what always is and what always changes. The compact passage Tim . 37e1-38b5 leaves many interpretative questions open. In this paper, I shall look at the way Proclus asks and answers them in his Commentary on the Timaeus ( in Tim . IV 34.14-49.19).
