22. Neo-Platonism [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy] The revival of Greek philosophy in 3rd century BCE, led by plotinus and his disciple, Porphyry. Influenced by both Pythagoras and Plato. http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/n/neoplato.htm

Neo-Platonism Neo-Platonism is a modern term used to designate the period of Platonic philosophy beginning with the work of Plotinus and ending with the closing of the Platonic Academy by the Emperor Justinian in 529 CE. This brand of Platonism, which is often described as 'mystical' or religious in nature, developed outside the mainstream of Academic Platonism. The origins of Neo-Platonism can be traced back to the era of Hellenistic syncretism which spawned such movements and schools of thought as Gnosticism and the Hermetic tradition. A major factor in this syncretism, and one which had an immense influence on the development of Platonic thought, was the introduction of the Jewish Scriptures into Greek intellectual circles via the translation known as the Septuagint . The encounter between the creation narrative of Genesis and the cosmology of Plato's Timaeus set in motion a long tradition of cosmological theorizing that finally culminated in the grand schema of Plotinus' Enneads . Plotinus' two major successors, Porphyry and Iamblichus, each developed, in their own way, certain isolated aspects of Plotinus' thought, but neither of them developed a rigorous philosophy to match that of their master. It was Proclus who, shortly before the closing of the Academy, bequeathed a systematic Platonic philosophy upon the world that in certain ways approached the sophistication of Plotinus. Finally, in the work of the so-called Pseudo-Dionysius, we find a grand synthesis of Platonic philosophy and Christian theology that was to exercise an immense influence on mediaeval mysticism and Renaissance Humanism.

Bryn Mawr Classical Review 04.04.06 Dominic J. O'Meara, Plotinus: An Introduction to the Enneads . Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1993. Pp. ix + 142. $39.95. ISBN 0-19-875121-4. Reviewed by John Peter Kenney, Reed College. As its title suggests, this work is intended as a short and accessible introduction to the Enneads of Plotinus (205-270 A.D.). It is directed to those readers and they are legion who are not unfamiliar with ancient Greek philosophy (vii) but who are nonetheless innocent of Plotinus. This is a worthy task in which this slim volume succeeds admirably. But as those who have attempted the task are aware, the Enneads are no light read. It was so even in antiquity. When supplied with final copies of the treatises by Porphyry, Longinus, the Athenian Platonist, returned them and requested that they be corrected. Plotinus's Greek is dense and grammatically uncertain at times. The treatises often begin in the middle of some dispute and presuppose at least the outline of Plotinus's views on transcendental matters. Who is emanating what or transcending whom is sometimes in doubt. Porphyry's remark in the Vita Plotini that one finds Aristotle's Metaphysics in the Enneads is true in several senses.

Exploring Ancient World Cultures Readings from Ancient Rome Ennead I.6 [1], On Beauty Plotinus / Translated by Stephen MacKenna 1. Beauty addresses itself chiefly to sight; but there is a beauty for the hearing too, as in certain combinations of words and in all kinds of music, for melodies and cadences are beautiful; and minds that lift themselves above the realm of sense to a higher order are aware of beauty in the conduct of life, in actions, in character, in the pursuits of the intellect; and there is the beauty of the virtues. What loftier beauty there may be, yet, our argument will bring to light. What, then, is it that gives comeliness to material forms and draws the ear to the sweetness perceived in sounds, and what is the secret of the beauty there is in all that derives from Soul? Is there some One Principle from which all take their grace, or is there a beauty peculiar to the embodied and another for the bodiless? Finally, one or many, what would such a Principle be? Consider that some things, material shapes for instance, are gracious not by anything inherent but by something communicated, while others are lovely of themselves, as, for example, Virtue. The same bodies appear sometimes beautiful, sometimes not; so that there is a good deal between being body and being beautiful.

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.
