The Counsellor and the Political Extensions of the Awareness of Ignorance in Proclus

and the Political Extensions of the Awareness of Ignorance in In this study, we focus our attention on Proclus the Neoplatonist and the extract 177.22-180.26 from his commentary on Plato’s Alcibiades I , where there is a thorough discussion on the qualities of a political counsellor. A purpose of ours is to investigate a part of an extremely systematic attempt in the context of Ancient Greek Philosophy to structure philosophy of that selfhood which is aware of its duty towards both itself and social body. In our elaboration, we make some references to Modern and Contemporary philosophy, since their representatives dealt systematically with this field.
