Synopsis

Reprints, for the first time, all the known translations of
the Enneads by Thomas Taylor. Originally published in five separate books,
the Prometheus Trust makes them all available together in one volume.
Plotinus stands as the great reviver of Platonism as a living philosophy,
and a true basis for real mystical development. From his inspiration and
work arose a line of profound thinkers, whose works remain a high-water
mark in the religious and philosophical achievements of humanity. This new
edition comprises 27 treatises on such subjects as, - The Good, The
Immortality of the Soul, Providence, Dialectic, Virtue, Felicity, Eternity
and Time, The Nature and Origin of Evil, Matter, and Intellect. Included
are Taylor's lengthy introductions and notes, an invaluable aid to the
student of Plotinian writings.
