Synopsis
Excerpt from The Philosophy of Plotinus, Vol. 1 of 2: The Gifford Lectures at St. Andrews 1917-1918
The Gifford Lectureships have given many English and some foreign scholars the pleasantest of introductions to the life of the Scottish Universities. The unique charm of St. Andrews is but half realised by those who only know it as the Mecca of the golfer. Those who have had the privilege of being admitted to the academic society of the ancient city will understand why Andrew Lang confessed that even Oxford had a successful rival in his affections. The present writer will always look back upon his two visits to St. Andrews as the brightest interlude in four sad years.
It is my agreeable duty to acknowledge the help which I have received from several friends. I have been encouraged and gratified by the interest in my lectures shown by those two distinguished Platonists, Professors Burnet and Taylor, of St. Andrews. For several years I have received the kindest sympathy in my philosophical studies from Lord Haldane. Three Oxford friends have been good enough to read my book in manuscript or in the proof-sheets: Captain Ross, Fellow of Oriel; the Rev. H. H. Williams, D.D., Principal of St. Edmund Hall; and Mr. C. C. J. Webb, Fellow of Magdalen and at present Gifford Lecturer at Aberdeen.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and philosophy of a prominent figure in the realm of mysticism, offering a profound exploration of their teachings and their lasting impact on both philosophy and theology. Set against the backdrop of the 3rd century, a period marked by societal decline and a resurgence of religious sentiments, the book situates the philosopher's ideas within the broader historical context of the time. The author meticulously examines the core tenets of this philosophy, including the concepts of the One, the Soul, and the World Soul, shedding light on their intricate relationship and their role in the universe's creation and governance. The book delves into the philosopher's views on consciousness, perception, and the nature of reality, drawing connections to other philosophical traditions and thinkers. Furthermore, it explores the philosopher's stance on the descent of the Soul and its journey back to the divine, addressing questions of free will, sin, and redemption.
