Book Description | Plotinus (c. AD 205-270) can be regarded as the greatest Greek philosopher of late Antiquity, and as the father of Neoplatonism. His Enneads (`the nines') are now recognised as seminal works in the development of Western thought. This book is the only detailed scholarly commentary available on this part of Plotinus' work, and should be invaluable to all scholars interested in ancient philosophy and early Christian theology. All Greek in the commentary is translated |
Editorial Review | The translation reads well and ... the commentary is generally excellent. * H.J. Blumenthal, Univ of Liverpool, Hermathena * This is not only one of the few English commentaries on any single treatise of Plotinus, but it is an informed and informative translation. * Religious Studies Review, vol.23, no.1, January 1997 * a welcome addition to the increasing number of commentaries on individual treatises of Plotinus ... The translation on facing pages is accurate and fluid, and F. helpfully breaks it down into small paragraphs that represent more precisely the subtle shifts in Plotinus' presentation. F.'s is a sound work of scholarship that all Plotinian scholars will profitably consult. This is a well-written monograph on an important topic. * John Bussanich, University of New Mexico, The Classical Review, Vol. XLVI, Vol. 2, '96 * |
