Synopsis
Explore Plotinus's ethical treatises and discover a path to inner purification and lasting wisdom. This edition presents the first Ennead’s key writings, alongside Porphyry's Life of Plotinus and the Preller-Ritter conspectus, translated by Stephen Mackenna for accessible study.
The collection surveys virtue, beauty, and the soul’s ascent toward the One. It blends philosophical argument with practical guidance on purification, self-mastery, and the purification of desire to reach a higher, unchanging good. Rich with definitions, dialogues, and the structure of Plotinian thought, this edition helps readers trace how late antique philosophy framed happiness, meaning, and the nature of reality.
- Clear organization of the First Ennead and essential background materials
- Accessible translation that preserves the original’s clarity and nuance
- Foundational discussions on virtue, intellect, and the Good
- Context from Porphyry’s life of Plotinus and the conspectus of the Plotinian system
Ideal for readers of ancient philosophy, Christian and Neoplatonist thought, and anyone seeking a rigorous introduction to Plotinus's ethics and metaphysics.
