Publisher's Synopsis
Ten Doubts Concerning Providence is a philosophical treatise written by the ancient Greek philosopher Proclus. The book explores ten doubts or questions related to the concept of Providence, which is the idea that there is a divine force or consciousness that governs the universe and guides human destiny. Proclus examines these doubts through a combination of rational argument and mystical insight, drawing on the works of Plato, Aristotle, and other ancient philosophers. The ten doubts cover a wide range of topics, including the nature of evil, the relationship between Providence and free will, and the role of Providence in the natural world. Throughout the book, Proclus argues that Providence is not a distant or arbitrary force, but rather an immanent and benevolent presence that guides human beings towards their ultimate purpose. Ten Doubts Concerning Providence is considered one of Proclus's most important works, and has been influential in the development of later philosophical and religious thought.THIS 78 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Proclus the Neoplatonic Philosopher, by Proclus .
