Publisher's Synopsis
Plotinos Complete Works V1 and V2 is a two-volume set that contains the complete works of Plotinos, a philosopher who lived in the third century AD. Plotinos was a key figure in the development of Neoplatonism, a philosophical movement that was influential in the late Roman Empire and beyond. The first volume includes Plotinos' Enneads, which is his most famous work and consists of six books that cover a wide range of philosophical topics. The second volume contains his other works, including his treatises on ethics, metaphysics, and theology. The works in this set are translated into English and include detailed notes and commentary to help readers understand the complex ideas presented in Plotinos' writings. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in ancient philosophy, Neoplatonism, or the history of ideas.1918. Volume 1 and 2. The works of Plotinus are presented in chronological order, grouped into four periods; with Biography by Porphyry, Eunapius and Suidas, Commentary by Porphyry, Illustrations by Iamblichus and Ammonius, Studies in sources, development, influence; and an Index of subjects, thoughts and words. By fusing parallel streams of thought, Plotinus became the representative of the post-Platonic age, and translated Greek philosophy into terms later taken up by Christianity. He was the bridge between Plato and Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Calvin and the Thirty-nine Articles. For his age he did what Plato had done for his, and thereby takes rank beside the latter as one of the peaks in the mountain chains of human thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
