Synopsis
Plotinos Complete Works — Volume I opens a classic English collection of Plotinus (c. 205–270), the foundational voice of Neoplatonism and one of late antiquity’s most influential philosophers.
Arranged in chronological order in the early 20th-century translation by Kenneth Sylvan Guthrie, this first volume begins with biographical material (including traditions associated with Porphyry) and then presents the earliest group of Plotinus’ treatises (“Amelian books” 1–21), guiding readers into his central themes: the ascent of the soul, the nature of intellect, and the search for the One beyond being.
A must-have primary source for readers of ancient philosophy, metaphysics, and the history of Western spiritual thought—ideal both for study and for reflective reading.
