This book is a revised version, with some omissions, of a Cambridge
doctoral dissertation submitted in 1963: I fear that it still bears
marks of its origins. The dissertation itself was the result of an
earlier scheme to identify the sources of Plotinus' psychological
doctrines. In the course of this work it soon became evident that
it was not sufficient1y clear what these doctrines were. Students
of Plotinus have tended to concentrate on the higher regions of his
world, and there is still no satisfactory treatment of his
doctrines of the embodied soul. It is the purpose of this book to
provide a fairly extensive survey of these doctrines. It does not
claim to be exhaustive. Nor does it claim to add a large body of
new knowledge, since over so wide a field many points have been
touched on by others, if only in passing. But I hope that it may
remove some misconceptions, and bring the details of Plotinus'
theories into sharper focus. It had been my intention to add an
introduction - mainly for the benefit of non-specialist readers -
on the psychology of Plotinus' predecessors. In the meantime the
Cambridge History of Later Greek and Early Medieval Philosophy has
appeared, and the reader who wants information on this subject may
convenient1y be referred to the relevant parts of the late
Professor Merlan's chapters on the predeces sors of Plotinus."
