Riassunto

Select Works of Plotinus is a book written by Thomas Taylor that contains a collection of writings by the ancient Greek philosopher Plotinus. Plotinus was a prominent figure in the development of Neoplatonism, a school of philosophy that blended elements of Platonism and Aristotelianism. The book includes translations of some of Plotinus's most important works, including Enneads, which is considered his magnum opus. Taylor's translations are highly regarded for their accuracy and clarity, and he provides extensive commentary and analysis to help readers understand the complex ideas presented in the works. The book covers a wide range of topics, including metaphysics, ethics, and theology, and is an essential resource for anyone interested in ancient philosophy or the history of ideas.1929.
