   In contrast to the Panaugia's emphasis on the centrality of light, the Panarchia, constituting as it does the initial application of the overtly “Patrizian” method mentioned in the title of the work, builds upon a pattern more familiar to students of the Platonic tradition. Dedicated to showing how the levels of reality flow from the ultimate cause, Patrizi's ontology draws upon such Platonic predecessors as Plotinus, Proclus and Marsilio Ficino to present a ten-level system. Beginning with God, whom he terms the “One-All” (Un'omnia), he establishes Unity, Essence, Life, Intelligence, Soul, Nature, Quality, Form and Body as the succeeding categories which constitute the incorporeal and corporeal universe. Such a pastiche would doubtless resonate with students of the history of Platonism. God thus is viewed as having both internal and external products in Patrizi's version of what might be termed the “chain of being”.
