Studies in Hermias' Commentary on Plato's Phaedrus

Studies in Hermias' Commentary on Plato's Phaedrus is a collection of twelve essays that consider aspects of Hermias' philosophy, including his notions of the soul, logic, and method of exegesis. The essays also consider Hermias' work in the tradition of Neoplatonism, particularly in relation to the thought of Iamblichus and Proclus. The collection grapples with the question of the originality of Hermias' commentary-the only extant work of Hermias-which is a series of lectures notes of his teacher, Syrianus.
