Inhaltsangabe

This book contains the complete works of Plotinus, a philosopher born in Egypt in the 3rd century CE. The book is divided into six groups of nine, or Enneads, each containing works on related topics. The first Ennead covers morality, the second physics, and the third the nature of the world. The writings contained in this book are significant because they present Plotinus' ideas on the nature of reality, the soul, and the good life. Plotinus believed that the highest good is union with the One, an ineffable and transcendent being. His works have had a profound influence on Western philosophy and mysticism and remain essential reading for anyone interested in the history of these subjects.
