    Philosopher

    Not to be confused with Saint Isidore of Alexandria.

    Isidore of Alexandria also called Isidore of Gaza[1][2] (; also Isidorus; Greek: Ἰσίδωρος ὁ Ἀλεξανδρεύς; c. 450 – c. 520) was a Greek[3]philosopher and one of the last of the Neoplatonists.

    He lived in Athens and Alexandria toward the end of the 5th century AD. He became head of the school in Athens in succession to Marinus, who followed Proclus.[4]

    Life

    Isidore was born in Alexandria.

    In Athens, he studied under Proclus, and learned the doctrine of Aristotle from Marinus.[5] According to Damascius, "Isidore was awestruck at the sight of Proclus, venerable and marvelous to see; he thought he was seeing in him the very face of true philosophy."[6] Proclus for his part used to "marvel at Isidore's appearance, as it was possessed by the divine and full of the philosophical life within."[7] Damascius
