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.

Zustand: New. *** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request *** - *** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - FLAWLESS COPY, BRAND NEW, NEVER OPENED -- 293 pages -- DESCRIPTION from the publisher: "This book provides a practical reading guide to the thought of Plotinus, the great philosopher who was born in Alexandria in the third century a. D. , lived in Rome and wrote in Greek. Deeply immersed in earlier Greek philosophy, especially Plato and Aristotle, Plotinusâ thought was to have an immense influence upon the theology and philosophy of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, as well as to bear a deep resonance with the major forms of Eastern mystical thought, particularly Buddhism and Hinduism. At the same time, Plotinusâ philosophy remains unique in its own right. Corriganâs (Emory University ) work presents, in an accessible and yet authoritative way, three treatises translated in full, as well as several other major passages representative of the wide range of thought to be found in Plotinusâ Enneads. There is extensive and detailed commentary accompanying each translation, which helps the reader to work his or her way through Plotinusâ often highly compressed thought. The concluding chapter draws together the practical and theoretical significance of Plotinusâ writings and situates them in an accessible manner for both first-time reader and scholar alike within the subsequent vast history of Neoplatonism which extends through the Mediaeval and Renaissance worlds and right into modern times. This book is intended to be of use for anyone who wants to read and understand Plotinus, non-specialists and specialists, and it will be particularly helpful for students and scholars of philosophy, history of ideas, aesthetic theory, and literature and religious thought, both Western and Eastern." -- with a bonus offer--; 520-Corri; PLOTINUS D 270 A NEOPLATONISM Emory University Corrigan, K.; Corrigan, Kevin Reading Plotinus: A Practical Introduction to Neoplatonism (NEOPLATONISM, PLATO, PLATONIC, DOCTRINES, READINGS, NEO-PLATONIC) COMMENTARY ON Emory University SOCRATES Socratic.
