Plotinus is the first Greek philosopher to hold a systematic theory
of consciousness. The key feature of his theory is that it involves
multiple layers of experience: different layers of consciousness
occur in different levels of self. This layering of higher modes of
consciousness on lower ones provides human beings with a rich
experiential world, and enables human beings to draw on their own
experience to investigate their true self and the nature of
reality. This involves a robust notion of subjectivity. However, it
is a notion of subjectivity that is unique to Plotinus, and
remarkably different from the Post-Cartesian tradition. Behind the
plurality of terms Plotinus uses to express consciousness, and
behind the plurality of entities to which Plotinus attributes
consciousness (such as the divine souls and the hypostases), lies a
theory of human consciousness. It is a Platonist theory shaped by
engagement with rival schools of ancient thought.
