In this book, David J. Yount argues, against the received opinion, that there are no essential differences between the metaphysics of Plato and Plotinus. Yount covers the One or Good, Beauty, Intellect, (the intelligible region, God and gods, Demiurge, Forms/Ideas, and the Five Greatest Kinds), the All-Soul, the Three Hypostases (the One, Intellect, and the All-Soul), Emanation, and Matter. By addressing the interpretative issues that surround the authenticity of Platos works, Plotinus: The Platonist argues against the commonly held view that Plotinus is best interpreted as a Neo-Platonist rather than simply a Platonist. Yount presents quotations and explanations from each philosopher to show that there are no essential differences in the aforementioned metaphysical entities, and concludes comprehensively by addressing five general objections to his view that Plato and Plotinus do not essentially differ on metaphysics.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In this insightful new book David J. Yount argues, against received wisdom, that there are no essential differences between the metaphysics of Plato and Plotinus.

After addressing the interpretive issues that surround the authenticity of Platos works, Plotinus: The Platonist deftly argues against the commonly held view that Plotinus is best interpreted as a Neo-Platonist, proposing he should be thought of as a Platonist proper.Yount presents thorough explanations and quotations from the works of each classical philosopher to demonstrate his thesis, concluding comprehensively that Plato and Plotinus do not essentially differ on their metaphysical conceptions.
