Two Books On The Essence Of Soul: And One On The Descent Of Soul is a philosophical work by Plotinus, originally published in 1880. The book consists of two treatises on the nature of the soul and one on its descent into the material world. The first treatise explores the essence of the soul, its relationship with the divine, and its role in the universe. The second treatise delves deeper into the nature of the soul, examining its faculties and how they relate to the body. The third treatise discusses the descent of the soul into the material world and its journey back to the divine. Throughout the book, Plotinus draws upon the teachings of Plato and Aristotle, as well as his own insights and experiences, to develop his philosophy of the soul. The book is a classic of Western philosophy and remains an important work for those interested in the nature of the soul and its relationship with the divine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

This pamphlet is published as a specimen of an English version of the entire writings of Plotlnus, which I am now making, and which I propose to finish as soon as possible. I am satisfied that one fthe greatest boons which can be conferred on this and future generations is an English translation of Plotinus, undoubted! one of the profoundest philosophers that ever energized within the World of Sense. His influence during the period of his mundane existence was extensive and predominant, and practically shaped the truly intellectual speculations of the third and immediate! subsequent centuries. Eunapius, writing in the fourth century, says that the public places are now the altars of Plotinus, and his boolcs are not only in the hands of those skilled in the Platonic doctrines, but even if the multitude incidentally and superficially refer to a philosophic dogma it will prove to ie of Plotinian origin. After his return to the Intelligible World, whence he came, his immortal writings circulated and expounded by his numerous and able disciples, who constituted the golden chain of the Platonic succession, were productive of incalculable benefit to the philosophic class of mankind, until a brutal, barbarous edict clpsed the School of Philosophy at A thens and thereby struck from the intellectual firmament the only luminary that remained of a once brilliant galaxy. The names of Plotinus and other philosophic heroes suur into obscurity and were only mentioned to be ignorantly abused and calumniated.
