SUMMARY
The Neoplatonist philosopher Aedesius was born in Cappadocia. Early on he showed a tendency for philosophy and, contrary to his family’s wishes, studied by the Syrian Neoplatonist philosopher Iamblichus, whom he succeeded in the leadership of his school. He later founded his own school in Pergamon and died in 353 or 355, without leaving any written works behind and after he had designated his beloved student Chrysanthios as his successor. |
