Proclus the Successor was a fifth-century Greek Neoplatonist philosopher and the last major ancient Greek philosopher. He set forth one of the most elaborate and fully developed systems of Neoplatonism. Like Iamblichus, Proclus opposed Christianity and passionately defended paganism. He upheld that thoughts constitute reality, while concrete âthingsâ are mere appearances. Ultimate reality, the âOne,â is both God and the Good and unifies his ethical and theological systems. His attitudes significantly influenced the development of theology in both the East and the West.
