Plotinus, Self and the World addresses the question of the
individual subject in its relationship with the world, the 'all'.
It traces the self through its experience of memory and
forgetfulness, looks at whether the idea of the subconscious exists
in Plotinus, and notes the probable impact of Plotinus' thought on
the development of the autobiography, in the form of Augustine's
Confessions. Augustine historicises the Plotinian individual self.
The book reinterprets the idea of to oikeion in Plotinus and places
great emphasis on the importance of the idea of 'having', and the
ability to possess is itself linked to being: thus we are close to
the idea of personal authenticity. Lastly the book examines
Plotinus' view of images and art, and notes his respect for the
beauty of the human face. His positive view of the physical world
is stressed.
