    Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.03 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.
