Sinopsis

Excerpt from Select Works of Plotinus: Translated From the Greek With an Introduction Containing the Substance of Porphyry's Life of Plotinus

Enneads, however, is too great a risk without first testing the public interest by a new edition of the only partial translation of any size which we possess. A new edition of Taylor's Select Works of Plotinus is, therefore, presented to the public in the hope that it may pave the way to a complete translation of the works of the greatest of the Neoplatonists. That the signs of the times presage an ever-growing interest in such subjects, and that it is of great importance to learn what solution one of the most penetrating minds of antiquity had to offer of problems in religion and philosophy that are insistently pressing upon us to day, will be seen from the following considerations.
