Review

..."A good insight into the neo-platonic philosopher.... the Platonic and Aristotelian sources of Plotinus's thought are given, and the influence of Plotinus on later writers is traced from St. Augustine to Tennyson. A sketch of Stephen MacKenna and a good bibliography complete the work."-Times İLondon¨ Literary Supplement
