Neoplatonic Pedagogy and the Alcibiades I - Crafting the Contemplative

Bringing together both works to reveal a common vision of philosophy as it was understood in the lecture halls of late antiquity, this monograph is the only book-length study exclusively devoted to the reception of the Platonic dialogue Alcibiades I in the commentaries of Proclus (412–485 AD) and Olympiodorus (495–60 AD).
