In this insightful new book David J. Yount argues, against received
wisdom, that there are no essential differences between the
metaphysics of Plato and Plotinus. Yount covers the core principles
of Plotinian thought: The One or Good, Intellect, and All-Soul (the
Three Hypostases), Beauty, God(s), Forms, Emanation, Matter, and
Evil. After addressing the interpretive issues that surround the
authenticity of Plato's works, Plotinus: The Platonist deftly
argues against the commonly held view that Plotinus is best
interpreted as a Neo-Platonist, proposing he should be thought of
as a Platonist proper. Yount presents thorough explanations and
quotations from the works of each classical philosopher to
demonstrate his thesis, concluding comprehensively that Plato and
Plotinus do not essentially differ on their metaphysical
conceptions. This is an ideal text for Plato and Plotinus scholars
and academics, and excellent supplementary reading for upper-level
undergraduates students and postgraduate students of ancient
philosophy.
