It results from a rea-\r\nsoned attempt to develop a theory of space which meets the needs of\r\nProclus' ontology of emanation. We shall begin by seeking a precise\r\nunderstanding of the assertion that space is a body (through an analysis\r\nof two detailed proofs Proclus offers in its support5) and then investi-\r\ngate the philosophical motives compelling him to make the claim by\r\ninquiring about the function of space in his comprehensive ontology.
