Sommario/riassunto |
|
"Plotinus, the founding father of Neoplatonism, composed On Beauty (Ennead 1.6), the foundational work for Neoplatonism. This volume translates into English with notes Plotinus's strong and systematic argument with Platonic reminiscences, and engaging exhortation to foster the inner self. A translation of his complementary statements on intelligible beauty are also included (Ennead 5.8.1-2)"-- |
