Synopsis

Plotinos Complete Works V3 and V4 is a two-volume set that comprises the complete works of Plotinus, a renowned philosopher of the ancient world. The volumes contain a comprehensive collection of his writings, including his famous Enneads, which are considered to be his most significant contribution to philosophy.The Enneads are a collection of nine treatises that cover a wide range of topics, including metaphysics, ethics, and theology. They are regarded as one of the most important works of Neoplatonic philosophy and have had a significant influence on Western philosophy.In addition to the Enneads, the volumes also include other works by Plotinus, such as his treatise on the nature of the soul, his commentary on Aristotle's Categories, and his discussions on the nature of the One and the Good.The volumes are edited and translated by Kenneth Guthrie, a renowned scholar of ancient philosophy. Guthrie's translations are highly regarded for their accuracy and clarity, making this set an essential resource for anyone interested in the philosophy of Plotinus and the ancient world.1918. Volume 3 and 4. The works of Plotinus are presented in chronological order, grouped into four periods; with Biography by Porphyry, Eunapius and Suidas, Commentary by Porphyry, Illustrations by Iamblichus and Ammonius, Studies in sources, development, influence; and an Index of subjects, thoughts and words. By fusing parallel streams of thought, Plotinus became the representative of the post-Platonic age, and translated Greek philosophy into terms later taken up by Christianity. He was the bridge between Plato and Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Calvin and the Thirty-nine Articles. For his age he did what Plato had done for his, and thereby takes rank beside the latter as one of the peaks in the mountain chains of human thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
