SynopsisCrucial for students of Plotinus looking to engage with his philosophy, and including translations of all his Enneads and Life of Plotinus, this is the first single-volume English edition for more than seventy-five years. Ideal for study, the book uses a consistent vocabulary and offers extensive notes, citations and cross-references., The Enneads by Plotinus is a work which is central to the history of philosophy in late antiquity. This volume is the first complete edition of the Enneads in English for over seventy-five years, and also includes Porphyry's Life of Plotinus. Led by Lloyd P.
