This book argues against the common view that there are no
essential differences between Plato and the Neoplatonist
philosopher, Plotinus, on the issues of mysticism, epistemology,
and ethics. Beginning by examining the ways in which Plato and
Plotinus claim that it is possible to have an ultimate experience
that answers the most significant philosophical questions, David J.
Yount provides an extended analysis of why we should interpret both
philosophers as mystics. The book then moves on to demonstrate that
both philosophers share a belief in non-discursive knowledge and
the methods to attain it, including dialectic and recollection, and
shows that they do not essentially differ on any significant views
on ethics. Making extensive use of primary and secondary sources,
Plato and Plotinus on Mysticism, Epistemology and Ethics shows the
similarities between the thought of these two philosophers on a
variety of philosophical questions, such as meditation, divination,
wisdom, knowledge, truth, happiness and love.
