This book is addressed to those wishing to embark on a reading of
Plotinus' works, the Enneads. One of the greatest of ancient
philosophers, Plotinus is now attracting ever-increasing attention
from those interested in ancient philosophy, in late Antiquity, and
in the importance of this period for the Western intellectual
tradition. Dominic O'Meara presents a brief outline of Plotinus'
life, and of the composition of the Enneads, placing Plotinus
within the intellectual context of the philosophical schools and
religious movements of his time. He then discusses selected
Plotinian texts in relation to a number of central philosophical
issues - soul and body, intelligible and sensible reality,
intellect, the One, speaking of the ineffable, the production of
reality, evil, beauty, ethics, and mysticism - in order to show how
Plotinus' thinking on these issues evolved, and to assess the
historical importance of his philosophy. A bibliography and a
thematically arranged guide to further reading, both on the issues
examined here and on other topics in Plotinus, enhance the value of
the book as a guide to study.
