The open access publication of this book has been published with
the support of the Swiss National Science Foundation. In this book,
Ota Gal presents a new analysis of Plotinus' conception of beauty,
beginning from a close reading of treatises I.6 and V.8, which link
beauty with the unified multiplicity of Intellect. This account is
subsequently placed in a hierarchical and structural context in
VI.2 and VI.6 and connected to illumination in VI.7, enabling us to
determine the meaning of the predicate "beauty" at different
ontological levels. For Plotinus, beauty is ultimately the
illuminated unity in multiplicity of Intellect, which, as the
manifestation of the Good, simultaneously enables the soul's ascent
and threatens to bind the soul to itself.
