Abstract
An analysis of the treatise Quaestiones christianorum ad gentiles attributed to Justin the apologist shows that it is a Christian writing of the late fifth century, whose main aim is to refute very specific doctrines of Proclus. The author demonstrates that the Pseudo-Justin knows Aristotle's Órganon directly, to which he refers by the expression "the ancients." The treatise presents a theory of the production of the world opposed to the Neo-Platonic ontology in order to grasp something of the will of God and the history of men.
