A wee bit of shelfwear to dustjacket only. Protected in myl ar. "The Roman philosopher Plotinus (c. 205-70) is perhaps best knownt oday for his doctrine of self-transformation through contemplation: 'Never stop sculpting your own statue, ujntil the godlike splendor of virtue shines forth to you.'. Hadot carefully examines Plotinus's views on the self, existence, love, virtue, gentleness, and solitude. Plotinus's counsel against fixation on the body and all earthly matters stemmed not from disgust or fear, but rather from his awareness of the negative effect that bodily preoccupation and material concern could have on spiritual exercises." (Notes from dustjacket flaps). Orignally published in French as PLOTIN OU LA SIMPLICITE DU REGARD by Institut des Etudes Augustiniennes (1989).
