Discover the enduring puzzle of Plotinus and the One.
This concise study examines how the ancient philosopher’s ideas on unity, the Good, and the divine Hypostases shape a metaphysical worldview that still challenges readers today.
In clear, accessible prose, the book traces how Plotinus’ conception of the One and its relation to intellect, matter, and the soul unfolds. It connects complex ideas to the human search for meaning, wisdom, and a universal order, while keeping the discussion focused on essential questions and their implications for philosophy and theology.
- How the One is described as the source and goal of all things
- The role of the Divine Hypostases and their relation to soul and intellect
- Demonstrations of unity, multiplicity, and the interplay between mind and world
