Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Plotinus: The Ethical Treatises, Being the Treatises of the First Ennead With Porphyry's Life of Plotinus, and the Preller-Ritter Extracts Forming a Conspectus of the Plotinian System
Plotinus, the philosopher our contemporary, seemed ashamed of being in the body.
So deeply-rooted was this feeling that he could never be induced to tell of his ancestry, his parentage or his birthplace.
