The extensive influence of Plotinus, the third-century founder of
'Neoplatonism', on intellectual thought from the Renaissance to the
modern era has never been systematically explored. This collection
of new essays fills the gap in the scholarship, thereby casting a
spotlight on a current of intellectual history that is inherently
significant. The essays take the form of a series of case-studies
on major figures in the history of Neoplatonism, ranging from
Marsilio Ficino to Henri-Louis Bergson and moving through Italian,
French, English, and German philosophical traditions. They bring
clarity to the terms 'Platonism' and 'Neoplatonism', which are
frequently invoked by historians but often only partially
understood, and provide fresh perspectives on well-known issues
including the rise of 'mechanical philosophy' in the sixteenth
century and the relation between philosophy and Romanticism in the
nineteenth century. The volume will be important for readers
interested in the history of thought in the early-modern and modern
ages.
