Publisher's Synopsis
The Enneads of Plotinus is a collection of philosophical writings by the ancient Greek philosopher Plotinus, translated and edited by Grace H. Turnbull. The Enneads are a series of nine treatises that explore topics such as the nature of reality, the relationship between the soul and the divine, and the role of philosophy in leading a virtuous life. Plotinus was a key figure in the development of Neoplatonism, a philosophical movement that sought to reconcile the teachings of Plato with those of Aristotle and other ancient thinkers. Turnbull's translation and commentary provide an accessible introduction to Plotinus's ideas, making this book a valuable resource for students of philosophy and anyone interested in the history of Western thought.THIS 28 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Tongues of Fire a Bible of Sacred Scriptures of the Pagan World, by Grace H.
