Iamblichus

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

Iamblichus (or Jamblichus) (c. AD 250–c. 325)

Syrian neo-Platonist philosopher. He studied at Rome under the Greek neo-Platonist philosopher Porphyry, and later taught in Syria. His extant writings are part of a larger work on Pythagorean philosophy.

The philosophy of Iamblichus represents a transition between the Platonism of Plotinus and the highly complex doctrines of later neo-Platonist thinkers such as Proclus.

Drawing upon the surviving fragments of his seven books "On Providencer" and his commentary on the Pythagorean "Carmen aureum", we learn of many important details on the development of neo-platonic doctrines between Iamblichus and Syrianus-Proculs.

Also, the text of such a great Christian/Platonic thinker as Dionysius the Areopagite was, marvelous to say, suppressed though some unknown catastrophe, so that his doctrine was known only indirectly to later Platonists such as Plotinus, Iamblichus, and others (Ficino thus nicely solves the problem of there being no mention of pseudo-Dionysius in the work of anyone before the fifth century).
