Series Statement:
Routledge philosophers
Content:
"Beginning with a chapter-length overview of Plotinus' life and works which also assesses the Platonic, Aristotelian and Stoic traditions that influenced him, Emilsson goes on to address key topics including: Plotinus' originality; the status of souls; Plotinus' language; the notion of the One or the Good; intellect, including Plotinus' holism; the physical world; the soul and the body, including emotions and the self; Plotinus' ethics; [and] Plotinus' influence and legacy. Including a chronology, glossary of terms and suggestions for further reading, 'Plotinus' is an ideal introduction to this major figure in Western philosophy, and is essential reading for students of ancient philosophy and classics."--Back cover
