Synopsis
1792. Thomas Taylor was one of the outstanding translators of the philosophical writings of the Greeks and Romans, and also published several original works on philosophy and mathematics. Many of his important contributions in these fields have been long out-of-print and are extremely difficult to obtain, having been issued in very small editions. Most of Taylor's translations have an archaic elegance which preserves the spirit of the older authors in a manner not evident in more recent translations. Taylor also added notes and commentaries which give valuable insight into the essential meaning often obscure in the actual text. The book encompasses Authentic Reality, which Plato recommends to all who aspire to wisdom, and which Plotinus outlines in his Enneads. It begins with The One, the highest and most abstract idea that the human mind can affirm, and shows how it perfectly manifests in the Gods, and then how it descends while at the same time remaining exempt, at each succeeding level of intellect, soul, and body.
