Plotinus
Translator A. H. Armstrong
    Plotinus (204/5-270 CE ) was the first and greatest of Neoplatonic philosophers. His writings were edited by his disciple Porphyry, who published them many years after his master's death in six sets of nine treatises each (the Enneads). Plotinus regarded Plato as his master, and his own philosophy is a profoundly original development of the Platonism of the first two centuries of the Christian era and the closely related thought of the Neopythagoreans, with some influences from Aristotle and his followers and the Stoics, whose writings he knew well but used critically. He is a unique combination of mystic and Hellenic rationalist. His thought dominated later Greek philosophy and influenced both Christians and Moslems, and is still alive today because of its union of rationality and intense religious experience. In his acclaimed edition of Plotinus, Armstrong provides excellent introductions to each treatise. His invaluable notes explain obscure passages and give reference to parallels in Plotinus and others.

GREAT THEOSOPHISTS
P LOTINUS
AMMONIUS Saccas, like many other great Teachers, never committed anything to writing. Following the custom of the ancient Hierophants, he transmitted his teachings orally, and bound his pupils by an oath not to divulge his most profound doctrines except to those who could be trusted not to disclose or misuse them. After the death of Ammonius, the work of recording the Neoplatonic teachings was taken up by his pupil Plotinus, and it is to him that we owe most of our knowledge of that system. Plotinus was an Egyptian by birth, and a native of Lycopolis. The Keynote of Plotinus' whole nature is summed up in the word impersonality. He was so resolved to keep his personality in the background that he refused to tell the place of his birth or the names of his parents. When he was asked to have his portrait painted he replied: "Is it not enough to have to carry around this image? Must I transmit the image of this image as worthy of attention?" Nothing is known of the early years of Plotinus' life. We meet him for the first time in Alexandria when he was twenty-eight years old. At that time he was devoting himself to the study of philosophy, and was seeking among the different schools for a system which would satisfy him. Having failed in his search, he met a friend one day and told him of his predicament. His friend advised him to visit the school of Ammonius Saccas. As soon as Plotinus heard Ammonius speak he cried: "This is the man I have been seeking!" And from that day on he attended Ammonius' classes, remaining with him for eleven years.

26. Studies In Comparative Philosophy - Plotinus
plotinus, the celebrated mystic, comes nearest in his views to the Vedanta philosophy, and is practically in full agreement with the Eastern sages,

Swami Krishnananda The Divine Life Society Yoga, Meditation, Spiritual Practice Bhagavadgita, Vedanta, Hinduism ... Video studies in comparative philosophy by Swami Krishnananda
The Divine Life Society - Sivananda Ashram, Rishikesh, India PLOTINUS This is nothing short of the Advaita Vedanta of Shankara. Only the view that the world is an overflow of the Perfection of God is peculiar to Plotinus. For, to the Vedanta, there is no such overflow; there is, to it, only the Absolute, and the world is its appearance; not an emanation from or an overflow of its being. This is the position, in spite of the acceptance of a relativistic creation of the Universe from the Absolute, as adumbrated in the Upanishads. For Plotinus the world is neither the creation of God nor an evolute from Him, but just an emanation. Plotinus, no doubt, takes care to see that this emanation does not in any way affect the Perfection of God. Plotinus is not advocating the parinamavada or the transformation theory of some of the Indian schools. God does not become the world by modification or transformation of Himself. He is ever what He is and the emanation is something like that of light from the sun. God never gets lost or exhausted in the world. Plotinus is thus free from the charge of propounding a pantheism. God is both transcendent and immanent. The world originates, subsists and finally merges in God. The Thought of God and the Object of this Thought are one and the same, and the world is God's Thought. God's Thought is merely the activity of His own being; it is the immediate, instantaneous, all-comprehending Essence of pure Consciousness, direct and intuitive, knowing everything at one stroke, and transcending the dualistic categories of relative reason, which functions through a succession of ideas.

Alexandrine.Schniewind@unifr.ch
ABSTRACT: Who is the Plotinian spoudaios and what is his function in the Enneads ? This question turns out to be fundamental, especially when trying to make out an ethical dimension in Plotinus. Treatise I 4 [46] offers, concerning that question, not only the longest sustained discussion of the spoudaios , but also shows how highly problematic it is to figure out more precisely his characteristics. This is due to the terminological ambiguity with the term sophos , which is also the reason why the two terms are often considered synonymous by translators. It appears in I 4 that this ambiguity is closely related to the question of aisthesis . And this is also perhaps the main problematic point concerning the spoudaios status questionis Who is the plotinian spoudaios and what is his function in the Enneads ? This question occurs especially in regard to treatise I 4 [46] which offers the longest sustained discussion of the spoudaios The main problem which presents itself as regards the term spoudaios is its apparent terminological similarity with sophos . As most translations show, both terms seem to be taken as almost synonymous, the most problematic one being Bréhier's French translation of the

The Enneads by Plotinus
Plotinus, a bust The Enneads were put down in writing around 250 AD. This updated presentation is rooted in a translation by a very often unwell and miserable Stephen MacKenna (1872-1934) and Bertram Samuel Page, a young scholar who relieved MacKenna of translating Enneads 6:1-3 for the last volume somewhere between 1928 and 1930, when it was published.
The text that follows here, is rooted in MacKenna's and Pages' translation. It was lightly re-edited by me. - T. Kinnes
Contents
The first ennead:
  • The animate and the man
  • On virtue
  • On dialectic [the upward way]
  • On true happiness ...

    To cause death without guilt.
    COMMENT: Murder is, of course, one of the most egregious sins. One way to avoid it is not to kill people. The other is to kill so indiscriminately that the act becomes disconnected from intent, and therefore from guilt. Both are socially acceptable.
    At least 21 civilians, including six children, have been killed in US air strikes in Afghanistan ... The deaths brought the total of civilian deaths to almost 100 in the past two weeks ... A spokesman for the US forces, Major William Mitchell, declared that the troops had killed a "significant" number of insurgents in firefights and the subsequent bombing. "We don't have any reports of civilian casualties" he said. " There are enemy casualties - I think the number is significant." Posted by Plotinus at 1:03 AM 0 comments Labels: K

    On Pico and Ficino's Translation of Plotinus In passing, my study discusses a number of heated conflicts between Pico and his older contemporary, the Florentine Neo-Platonist Marsilio Ficino. One such conflict, from the last half of 1486, revolved around Pico's criticism of Ficino's work as translator and interpreter of Plotinus's Enneads . Ironically, at least according to Ficino, Pico himself had first urged Ficino to undertake his work on Plotinus (in 1484). In the Commento , which was written after Ficino completed the first draft of his translation - and while he began composing his commentary - Pico ridicules Ficino's readings of Plotinus, as first noted by Garin in the 1940s; Pico's attacks begin, in fact, in the opening chapter of his text. The Oration , which was written in the same period, contains an even ruder remark about problems the "sweating Platonists" ( sudantes Platonici ) had understanding Plotinus's obscure language. Since the remark was again made in the midst of Ficino's work on Plotinus, it seems clear that Ficino (or Ficino and his circle) was once more Pico's target. Finally, again in the same period, we find Ficino's exegeses of Platonic texts attacked in the 900 theses, although in this case Ficino is not mentioned by name. Some of these attacks involved minute points of Platonic exegesis, demonstrating that Pico planned at Rome to challenge Ficino's grasp of his own tradition (see, e.g., thesis and note 5>31, on p. 437 of my edition of the 900 theses).

    INTRODUCTION
    The leading proponent of Neoplatonism, Plotinus was the last of the great early Greek philosophers. His metaphysic stressed the need to transcend this world, know the Divine Mind, and become reunited with the One. Plotinus's hierarchical system is set forth in his Enneads (253-70), collected by one of his students, Porphyry, at the beginning of the fourth century. Although opposed to the Gnostics and other Christian sects, Plotinus greatly influenced Christian philosophers, notably Saint Augustine and Saint Thomas Aquinas, and aspects of his philosophy have become incorporated into Catholic theology.
    Biographical Information
    Most of what is known about Plotinus comes from a biography written by Porphyry about 301 titled On the Life of Plotinus and the Order of His Books.

    Plotinus
    HIS LIFE SUMMARY OF HIS METAPHYSICS It is only possible to make things by thinking them, and to think things as a maker, by being them. Bodies are phantoms, present in matter only as an image, like a mirror, and the realities behind them are Forms. But even a thinker will produce only an idol unless the Forms he thinks are in him, thus collectively are him. Plotinus calls original thought Intellect, which does not reason from previous thoughts, so Intellect is a maker. But there is no process in its making, only the timeless activity of thinking the intelligible Forms that it is. HIS DOCTRINE OF GOD His idea of the One seems to imply the One is nothing, non-existent but this isn't true. Plotinus does state that the One transcends all being of which we have experience. Not only does the One transcend all objects, but also the concept of being is drawn from the objects of our experience, and the One consequently transcends also the concept that is founded on those objects. To evade the dilemma of God not able to create through a willful act, Plotinus uses the metaphor of emanation, but rejects the idea that God becomes less in any way by this process: God remains untouched, unfazed, and unmoved. Rather, Plotinus maintains that the world proceeds from God out of necessitythe less perfect (the world) from the perfect (God). He emphasizes his point by using the metaphor of the undiminishing sun, illustrating how the sun illuminates yet remains undiminished. He goes on to stress his point by way of the mirror reflection analogy. Plotinus maintains that since the One is beyond essence, He is also beyond intellectual perception.

  • 1. Life and writings
    We possess a fairly reliable account of Plotinus' life and writings by Porphyry , his student and editor. Porphyry composed a biography, On the Life of Plotinus and the Order of his Books , which prefaced his posthumous edition of Plotinus' writings. At the age of twenty eight Plotinus began his philosophical studies in Alexandria under a certain Ammonius (often called Ammonius Saccas, and not to be confused with Ammonius the teacher of Plutarch of Chaeronea (§1) or with Ammonius, son of Hermeas ) and studied with him for several years. After making a futile attempt at a journey to the East in order to acquaint himself with the philosophy of Persia and India, he settled in Rome at the age of forty. He established a school in Rome and stayed there except during his final illness. The extant corpus of Plotinus' writings is one of the largest we have of any ancient philosopher, and we probably possess everything he wrote. His works are treatises, written in Greek, that grew out of discussions in his school, and vary greatly in length and scope. Porphyry arranged the treatises according to subject matter into six 'enneads' - six sets of nine treatises. In order to arrive at this division he had to split some treatises. Conventionally, references to the

    "The Stoics used the four categories, substance, quality, disposition, and relative disposition , as methodological principles in all three branches of their philosophy. Moreover, in each case the third and fourth categories, disposition and relative disposition, embraced the most important questions. To the extent that the categories supply a methodological framework common to all three departments of philosophy, they constitute a unifying element. Perhaps they cannot provide an instrument for resolving all the contradictions attributed to the Stoics, but at least they give a clue to that inner unity of which the Stoics themselves boasted."
