Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Wisdom of Plotinus by Charles J. Whitby is a comprehensive guide to the philosophy of Plotinus, a prominent ancient Greek philosopher who founded the Neoplatonic school of thought. The book explores Plotinus' ideas on the nature of reality, the human soul, and the divine, as well as his views on ethics, politics, and the role of the philosopher in society. Whitby offers a clear and accessible overview of Plotinus' complex and often challenging ideas, drawing on a wide range of primary sources and secondary scholarship. He examines the key themes and concepts in Plotinus' philosophy, such as the One, the Intellect, and the Soul, and explains how they relate to each other and to the broader philosophical tradition.The book also provides a detailed analysis of Plotinus' influence on later thinkers, including Augustine, Aquinas, and Hegel, and explores the ongoing relevance of his ideas in contemporary philosophy and spirituality. Overall, The Wisdom of Plotinus is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of philosophy, the nature of reality, and the search for wisdom and meaning in life.A Metaphysical Study. ''Casually introduced to the notice of the writer (Whitby), at an age when his mind must have been peculiarly susceptible to their significance, the Enneads of Plotinus took such a grip upon his imagination that for many months they seemed to have translated him bodily to the shining sphere of supersensual experience.''

Broschiert. Condición: Sehr gut. 131 S. Sehr gutes Ex. - Reprint der Ausgabe 1908 (?). - Of ancient meta-physic, for the reason already stated; of modern, because, though, in the Science of Being, vast progress has doubtless been made since the days when Plotinus lived and taught at Rome and Alexandria, yet, upon the whole, it has been a progress which, leaving unmarred the grand outlines of the primitive scheme, has perforce contented itself with broadening and strengthening its logical foundations and enriching its bare and abstract austerity with all the fulness of concrete experience. To Plotinus thinkers so great, yet so diverse, as Hegel, Coleridge and Emerson have been proud to acknowledge their debt. Had it remained unacknowledged it might easily have been inferred by the student of their respective works. The modern theory of the Absolute, as represented in the masterly speculations of our own Dr. Bradley, amounts in fact to a rein-;-statement of the Plotinian theory of the Noumenal Universe. With a difference, no doubt; for, at first sight, the sensuous factors of experience, which Bradley includes, would in the Neoplatonist system appear to be excluded from the definition of Reality. But they are not really so excluded, only conceived-as divested of the element of illusion which characterises them on the phenomenal plane. For Plctinus expressly states that, in the sphere oftrue existence ' thought " may equally be described as " clear sensation," just as, on the phenomenal plane, " sensation" is definable as " obscure thought." Symptoms have of late not been wanting of a revival of interest in the works of Plotinus and his Neoplatonist disciples, but with the exception of Dr. Bigg's volume on the subject, a work written from a theological rather than a free philosophical standpoint, I am not aware of the existence of any methodical exposition of the system. But if there be any truth in the assertion of Plotinus, that the contemplative faculty of individuals and of the race rises by a natural progression from the sensuous to the psychical, from the psychical to the spiritual plane, the appearance of this little work may prove not inopportune.
