Although Neoplatonism has long been studied by classicists, until
recently most philosophers saw the ideas of Plotinus et al as a lot
of religious/magical mumbo-jumbo. Recent work however has provided
a new perspective on the philosophical issues in Neoplatonism and
Pauliina Remes new introduction to the subject is the first to take
account of this fresh research and provides a reassessment of
Neoplatonism's philosophical credentials. Covering the Neoplatonic
movement from its founder, Plotinus (AD 204-70) to the closure of
Plato's Academy in AD 529, Remes explores the ideas of leading
Neoplatonists such as Porphyry, Iamblichus, Proclus, Simplicius and
Damascius as well as less well-known thinkers. Situating their
ideas alongside classical Platonism, Stoicism, and the
neo-Pythagoreans as well as other intellectual movements of the
time such as Gnosticism, Judaism and Christianity, Remes provides a
valuable survey for the beginning student and non-specialist.
