Synopsis

""Plotinus: The Theosophy of the Greeks"" is a book written by G.R.S. Mead that delves into the philosophy of Plotinus, a prominent Greek philosopher who lived in the 3rd century AD. Mead provides a comprehensive analysis of Plotinus' teachings on the nature of reality, the soul, and the divine. He discusses Plotinus' belief in the existence of a transcendent realm beyond the physical world, which he calls the One, and how this One is the source of all being. Mead also explores Plotinus' ideas about the soul and its relationship to the divine, as well as his views on ethics and the purpose of human existence. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient Greek philosophy and the development of Western thought.1895.

About the Author

G. R. S. Mead, Hermeticist and scholar was one of the truly great researchers into arcane wisdom. At a time when the esoteric tended to mean little more than table tapping and mysterious phenomena, he was translating into English the gems of Neoplatonic and Egyptian philosophy. In works such as "Thrice Greatest Hermes, The Doctrine of the Subtle Body, Orpheus", and "Fragments of a Faith Forgotten", he almost single handedly reassembled the lost esoteric tradition of classical Athens and Alexandria and Gnosticism in general.
