This volume presents the first German translation of the sixth tract from Proclus' Politeia commentary. The text is flanked by an extensive commentary, which situates it within the systematic context of Neoplatonic philosophy. The tract is the central source of our knowledge on the Neoplatonic theory of poetry and allegorical technique, which this volume makes available to a wider audience for the first time.
