Plotinus (c.205-70) was a Neoplatonist philosopher, his work
posthumously published by Porphyry and divided into six books, nine
tractates each, called the Enneads. In this book Majumdar makes a
valuable addition to the literature on his work, especially Ennead
III.7(45)11-13 - in particular explaining Plotinus' cosmology using
the genus-species model of soul, coordinating the literature on the
appearance of time and the cosmos with that on the larger issue of
Plotinian "emanation" and examining the role of tolma and the
restless nature of soul in this conjoint appearance. This book
investigates Plotinian "emanation," its laws of poiesis
(contemplative making ) and the roles of nature, matter, logos,
(rational formative principle) and contemplation and highlights the
subtler details of Plotinus' cosmology by disentangling conceptual
issues about the nature of soul and self ("we") and their impact on
the process of generation of time and the cosmos.
