Publisher's Synopsis
Plotinos Complete Works V3 and V4 is a collection of philosophical writings by Plotinus, a prominent philosopher of the ancient world. The book includes the complete works of Plotinus, spanning two volumes. The writings cover a wide range of topics, including metaphysics, ethics, and theology. The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of Plotinus' philosophy. The first volume explores the nature of the soul and the divine, while the second volume delves into the concept of the One and the many. Throughout the book, Plotinus explores the relationship between the individual and the divine, and the role of philosophy in understanding the nature of reality. The writing is complex and dense, but offers a fascinating insight into the philosophical ideas of one of the most influential thinkers of the ancient world.1918. Volume 3 and 4. 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.
