Resumo

This article aims to reconstruct the chief aspects of Middle Platonic metaphysics, with particular reference to the positions of Plutarch, Atticus, Alcinous and Numenius. The Author concentrates on ontology (being-becoming distinction and theory of principles) and theology (hierarchy of divine beings: first God and second God). It is shown that Middle Platonic speculation on metaphysics rests to a great extent on the exegesis of Plato’s Timaeus.
