the realms of metaphysics and divine understanding. The opening of this work introduces the author’s design to explore the nature and purpose of mathematics, particularly geometry, through a philosophical lens. Proclus posits that true understanding of geometry leads one towards divine knowledge, contrasting this intellectual pursuit with the mere mechanical application of mathematics in mundane activities. Additionally, the Preface highlights the challenges of translating ancient philosophical texts due to their profound and complex nature, suggesting that mastery of these ideas requires not only intellectual rigor but a deep engagement with the philosophical tradition to truly grasp the universal truths that geometry embodies.
