The first volume in a landmark commentary on an important and
influential work of ancient philosophy This is the first volume of
a groundbreaking commentary on one of the most important works of
ancient philosophy, the Enneads of Plotinus—a text that formed
the basis of Neoplatonism and had a deep influence on early
Christian thought and medieval and Renaissance philosophy. This
volume covers the first three of the six Enneads, as well as
Porphyry's Life of Plotinus, a document in which Plotinus’s
student—the collector and arranger of the Enneads—introduces
the philosopher and his work. A landmark contribution to modern
Plotinus scholarship, Paul Kalligas’s commentary is the most
detailed and extensive ever written for the whole of the Enneads.
For each of the treatises in the first three Enneads, Kalligas
provides a brief introduction that presents the philosophical
background against which Plotinus’s contribution can be assessed;
a synopsis giving the main lines and the articulation of the
argument; and a running commentary placing Plotinus’s thought in
its intellectual context and making evident the systematic
association of its various parts with each other.
