Porphyry's Launching-Points to the Realm of Mind An Introduction to the Neoplatonic Philosophy of Plotinus Translated by Kenneth Guthrie Introduction by Michael Hornum Porphyry (circa 233-305 A.D.) is one of the most fascinating figures in the history of Western philosophy. A disciple of Plotinus, he was responsible for editing and transmitting the writings of his great master, and was a brilliant philosopher in his own right. Porphyry authored a great number and variety of philosophical works, many of which have either been lost or destroyed. Among these writings are a detailed treatise on vegetarianism (he considers the question both pro and con), several important metaphysical expositions, as well as a unique contribution to the science of textual criticism, Against the Christians , in which he correctly demonstrated that "The Book of Daniel" was a late forgery of the Maccabean period. This book is a summary of the teachings of the great Neoplatonic philosopher Plotinus and deals with the nature of incorporeal principles in the realm of Mind or Spirit. Porphyry shows how the realm of Mind, because it is nowhere, not being limited by time or space, is present everywhere — as Michael Hornum notes in his introduction, "Our higher self does not lie within us, as if an internal organ, or hover somewhere about the galaxy, but is present to each of us with an intimacy closer than any corporeal thing can have." Both Porphyry's text and Hornum's introduction invite the reader, in the words of Plotinus, "to wake to another mode of seeing, which every man has but which few men use."

PLOTINUS (204-270 A.D.) Biography The One Nous, the World Soul BIOGRAPHY: Plotinus was born at Lycopolis , in Upper Egypt in 204 A.D. , and died at Campania in 270 A.D. In the twenty-eighth year of his life he applied himself to philosophy, and attended the lectures of the most celebrated men of that time in Alexandria . After studying under Ammonius for some ten years, he accompanied the Emperor Gordian in his campaign against the Persians , in order to learn something of their philosophy. In this object he failed, owing to the unsuccessful issue of the undertaking; he was even obliged to flee for his life to Antioch . In he went to Rome and won numerous adherents to his teaching, among them the Emperor Gallienus and his wife Salonina . He conceived the idea of founding an ideal city in Campania, with the approval and support of the emperor: this city was to be called Platonopolis , and its inhabitants were to live according to the laws of Plato . Gallienus was not disinclined to enter into the plan; but it was thwarted by the opposition of the imperial counselors. He taught in Rome until about , retiring then to the country estate of a disciple in Campania. Plotinus did not reduce his doctrine to

Plotinus, 205 - 270 Plotinus is generally considered the founder of the Neoplatonic school of philosophy, though his philosophical system built upon those of his predecessors, Numenius and Ammonius Saccas . Many of his sayings were recorded by Amelius . For the New England Transcendentalists, Plotinus provided intriguing mystical ideas such as the doctrine of the One, the source from which all goodness, truth, and beauty flows. Through this divine "emanation" the universe remains intrinsically positive: Plotinus, like Ralph Waldo Emerson , held that evil is not real but merely privativea failure of the soul to harness the good that is immanently present in the universe and available to all. Plotinus felt that only a faculty superior to both sense and reason, that is, a mystical intuition founded on the personality of the soul, could truly apprehend the infinite. These ideas formed the basis of transcendental concepts such as Emerson's Over-Soul, Amos Bronson Alcott 's theory of Genesis, the possibility of ecstatic union with God, and the perfectibility of humanity through developmental stages.

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... N > Neo-Platonism A B C D ... Z Neo-Platonism A system of idealistic, spiritualistic philosophy, tending towards mysticism, which flourished in the pagan world of Greece and Rome during the first centuries of the Christian era. It is of interest and importance, not merely because it is the last attempt of Greek thought to rehabilitate itself and restore its exhausted vitality by recourse to Oriental religious ideas, but also because it definitely entered the service of pagan polytheism and was used as a weapon against Christianity . It derives its name from the fact that its first representatives drew their inspiration from Plato's doctrines, although it is well known that many of the treatises on which they relied are not genuine works of Plato. It originated in Egypt, a circumstance which would, of itself, indicate that while the system was a characteristic product of the Hellenistic spirit, it was largely influenced by the religious ideals and mystic tendencies of Oriental thought.

Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Plotinus Plotinus, (died about A.D. ) is widely considered the father of Neoplatonism . Much of our biographical information about Plotinus comes from Porphyry's preface to his edition of Plotinus' Enneads Porphyry believed Plotinus was 66 years old when he died in the second year of the reign of the emperor Claudius , and estimated the year of his teacher's birth as around AD . Plotinus disliked "being in the body", so he never discussed his ancestry, or his place or date of birth. Eunapius however reports that he was born in Lyco or Lycopolis in Egypt He took up the study of philosophy at the age of 27, around the year 232, and went to Alexandria to study. Plotinus was dissatisfied with every teacher he met until a friend suggested he go to Ammonius Saccas . Upon hearing Ammonius lecture, he declared to his friend "This was the man I was looking for," and began to study intently under this teacher. Plotinus spent the next eleven years in Alexandria until his 38th year, when he decided to investigate the philosophical teachings of the Persians and the Indians . As a result he left Alexandria and joined the army of Gordian III as it marched on Persia. However, on Gordian's death he found himself abandoned in a hostile land, and with difficulty found his way back to safety in

FROM THE LOEB CLASSICAL LIBRARY PLOTINUS Volume I. Porphyry's Life of Plotinus. Ennead 1 Translated by A. H. Armstrong Plotinus (A.D. 204/5-270) was the first and greatest of Neoplatonic philosophers. His writings were edited by his disciple Porphyry, who published them many years after his master's death in six sets of nine treatises each (the Enneads). Plotinus regarded Plato as his master, and his own philosophy is a profoundly original development of the Platonism of the first two centuries of the Christian era and the closely related thought of the Neopythagoreans, with some influences from Aristotle and his followers and the Stoics, whose writings he knew well but used critically. He is a unique combination of mystic and Hellenic rationalist. His thought dominated later Greek philosophy and influenced both Christians and Moslems, and is still alive today because of its union of rationality and intense religious experience. In his acclaimed edition of Plotinus, Armstrong provides excellent introductions to each treatise. His invaluable notes explain obscure passages and give reference to parallels in Plotinus and others. OTHER HARVARD BOOKS BY PLOTINUS Volume II. Ennead 2

Ancient Philosophy Remarks on the spoudaios in Plotinus I 4 [46] Alexandrine Schniewind University of Fribourg Alexandrine.Schniewind@unifr.ch ABSTRACT: Who is the Plotinian spoudaios and what is his function in the Enneads ? This question turns out to be fundamental, especially when trying to make out an ethical dimension in Plotinus. Treatise I 4 [46] offers, concerning that question, not only the longest sustained discussion of the spoudaios , but also shows how highly problematic it is to figure out more precisely his characteristics. This is due to the terminological ambiguity with the term sophos , which is also the reason why the two terms are often considered synonymous by translators. It appears in I 4 that this ambiguity is closely related to the question of aisthesis . And this is also perhaps the main problematic point concerning the spoudaios status questionis Who is the plotinian spoudaios and what is his function in the Enneads ? This question occurs especially in regard to treatise I 4 [46] which offers the longest sustained discussion of the spoudaios The main problem which presents itself as regards the term spoudaios is its apparent terminological similarity with sophos . As most translations show, both terms seem to be taken as almost synonymous, the most problematic one being Bréhier's French translation of the
