Product Description
Excerpt from Plotinos Complete Works, Vol. 1: In Chronological Order, Grouped in Four Periods
The writer, having no thesis such as Drews' to justify, will welcome all corrections and suggestions. He regrets the inevitable uncertainties of capitalization (as between the supreme One, Intelligence world-soul and Daemon or guardian, and the lower one, intel ligence, soul and demon or guardian); and any other inconsistencies'of which he may have been guilty; and he beseeches the mantle of charity in view of the stupendousness of the undertaking, in which he prac ticaly could get no assistance of any kind, and also in view of the almost insuperable difficulties of his own career. He, however, begs to assure the reader that he did exerything ad majorem Dei gloriam lndex.
