Plutarch of Athens wrote commentaries on what Greek philosopher, whose writings constitute the first comprehensive system of Western philosophy?
Plutarch of Athens Plutarch of Athens (Greek: Πλούταρχος ὁ Ἀθηναῖος ; c. 350 – 430 AD) was a Greek philosopher and Neoplatonist who taught at Athens at the beginning of the 5th century. He reestablished the Platonic Academy there and became its leader. He wrote commentaries on Aristotle and Plato, emphasizing the doctrines which they had in common.
Hermias (apologist) Hermias ( ; sometimes Hermias Philosophus or Hermias the Philosopher; Greek: Ἑρμείας ) was an obscure Christian Apologist, presumed to have lived in 3rd century. Nothing is known of him, except his name. He wrote a "Derision of gentile philosophers" ("Diasyrmos ton Exo Philosophon"), a short parody on Greek philosophy themes (the nature of the body, the soul, the world). From Paul's statement in the First Epistle to the Corinthians that "all worldly knowledge is foolishness to God" he affirms that all philosophical doctrines come from the apostasy of the angels and therefore wrong and laughable. Hermias relies rather on cynical and skeptical culture critique and on philosophical biographies and anedoctes than in their real writings if he had ever read them.
