Apres avoir ecrit Vivre selon Pythagore”, Jamblique compose peu apres, vers la fin du Ille siecle de notre ere, un Protreptique, c’est-a-dire une exhortation a la philosophie, dont on trouve ici la premiere traduction integrale en francais. Cette initiation a l’acte de philosopher s’acheve au terme d’une ascension progressive figuree par une echelle, par un expose de la symbolique pythagoricienne. Jamblique avait eu, avec des visees differentes, d’illustres devanciers qu’il cite volontiers, comme Platon et Aristote (dont le Protreptique peut etre reconstitue a l’aide des citations qu’en fait Jamblique ). L’exegese que propose Jamblique des Vers d’Or et des sentences pythagoriciennes a fait de son Protreptique une source de toute premiere importance pour qui desire connaitre et comprendre le pythagorisme.
