This is one of the great books of the Platonic Tradition. Its scope is the whole sphere of 'Authentic Reality' which Plato recommends to all who aspire to wisdom, and which Plotinus outlines in his Enneads. It takes as its starting point The One—the highest and most abstract idea that the human mind can affirm—and follows dialectically the unfolding of this through division, analysis, demonstration, and definition. It shows how The One is perfectly manifest in the Gods, and then how it "descends" while at the same time remaining exempt, at each succeeding level of intellect, soul, and body. A work of unequalled dialectic.
