In Ennead II.1 (40) Plotinus is primarily concerned to argue for
the everlastingness of the universe, the heavens, and the heavenly
bodies as individual substances. Here he must grapple both with the
philosophical issue of personal identity through time and with the
rich tradition of cosmology which pitted the Platonists against the
Aristotelians and Stoics. What results is a historically informed
cosmological sketch explaining the constitution of the heavens as
well as sublunar and celestial motion. This book contains an
extensive introduction aimed at providing the necessary background
in Platonic, Aristotelian, and Stoic cosmology, the text itself,
and a line-by-line commentary designed to elucidate its
philosophical, philological and historical details.
