In going through this, it's interesting that Taylor seems to use the term "him" for The One (if I am reading right). If true, he would be commit what to some is the "sin" of "hypostasizing The One," in effect, personalizing it (Butler has written about this, and tied it to Proclus's thought).

This not problematic, generally, for Christian Platonists, but I wonder if it chafes for those more inclined to the "hard" polytheism side of things, as it seems to suggest a specific hierarchy. Will have to read through this all more closely.

Regardless, very interesting find...
