New Book Announcement - Iamblichus and the Foundations of Late Platonism

A new monograph has been released by Brill in their series Studies in Platonism, Neoplatonism and the Platonic Tradition.  This is volume 13 in the series, titled Iamblichus and the Foundations of Late Platonism edited by Eugene Afonasin, John Dillon, and John F. Finamore copyright 2012.  It is a collection of 10 papers.

Here is the description of the book from the Brill website:

Iamblichus of Chalcis (c. 240-c. 325 C.E.), successor to Plotinus and Porphyry, gave new life to Neoplatonism with his many philosophical and religious refinements. Once regarded as a religio-magical quack, Iamblichus is now seen as a philosophical innovator who harmonized not only Platonic philosophy with religious ritual but also Platonism with the ancient philosophical and religious tradition. Building on recent scholarship on Iamblichean philosophy, the ten papers in this volume explore various aspects of Iamblichus' oeuvre. These papers help show that Iamblichus re-invented Neoplatonism and made it the major school of philosophy for centuries after his death.

I do not have a book review at this time.  I ordered my copy and am awaiting its arrival.  The book is available on Amazon and you may purchase it with the following link:
