Plotinus, the most profound philosopher of the third century C.E.,
has been influential on Byzantine and Western Christianity, and
Islam. In the West, Augustine brought Plotinian philosophy into
Christianity, ensuring the interest of a long line of Christian
thinkers. As Margaret Miles shows, Plotinus's philosophy holds both
perennial attraction and offers specific contributions to
particular issues at the beginning of the twenty first century.
Miles offers a fresh interpretation which situates Plotinus's
philosophical ideas in the context of society and culture in which
those ideas developed. Using extant evidence (the "Enneads,"
Porphyry's "Life"), she reconstructs an intense third-century
conversation, n namely the relationship of body and soul. Mile's
portrayal of Plotinus will encourage readers from a range of
disciplines to question their construction of body, "self," and
identity.
