Inhaltsangabe
Plotinus was one of the most influential philosophers of the early Christian world, whose life was dedicated to the care of others and whose extensive treatises were recorded and preserved by his pupil and colleague Porphyry. This book provides a guide to reading and understanding Plotinus and covers many of the topics that he contemplated. Kevin Corrigan presents both an overview of Plotinus' thought, with extracts from his writings, and, later in the book, focuses on three particular texts for which he provides commentary: On what is the living creature and what the human being; On nature, contemplation and the One; On intelligible Beauty . The conclusion summarises Plotinus' philosophy and his impact on later intellectuals.
