Plotinus
Plotinus ( Plotinus (205-270): Greek philosopher, creator of the great synthesis of late Antiquity, called Neo-Platonism. After the age of Posidonius of Apamea , it was not uncommon that philosophers from one school borrowed concepts and ideas from other branches of philosophy. Slowly, the schools were merging, and a new synthesis (called Neo-Platonism) was created by Plotinus (205-270). Like Plato , Plotinus accepted that our world was a mere shadow of the world of the ideas, which was in turn -and this was a novel idea- a shadow of an even higher world, which was again a shadow of the One God. In other words, the world has four levels of reality: God was the highest level, and then there were the levels of the intellect, the soul, and matter. (That matter is more real than the speculative levels of existence, as we think, was an unusual idea in Antiquity.) According to Plotinus, the wise man would try, by means of ascesis, to free his soul from matter and unite it with God. Plotinus achieved this unity several times, and it would not be wrong to compare him to the mystics of all civilizations. His pupil Porphyrius organized the treatises of Plotinus (the Enneads ) and also wrote a biography of his master. The Neo-Platonic philosophy was adopted by the fathers of the church Ambrose and

Florence, 1492: the reappearance of Plotinus.
In the western world, Plotinus was only a name until 1492.(1) None of his treatises had been translated during the Middle Ages, and the translations dating back to antiquity had been lost. He was not totally unknown, however, thanks to scholars like Firmicus Maternus, Saint Augustine, Macrobius, and to those parts of the works of Proclus translated in the thirteenth century by William of Moerbeke. But Plotinus's own writings remained completely unknown, and as Vespasiano da Bisticci observed in his Vite, "senza i libri non si poteva fare nulla" ("without the books, nothing can be done").(2) This fact was to change completely only with the publication by Marsilio Ficino of his Latin translation of the Enneads.

http://www.hypatia-lovers.com/AncientGreeks/Section26.html
Plotinus (circa A.D. 205 - 270) and Neo-Platonism Born in Lycopolis, Egypt, and educated in Alexandria, Plotinus was the mystical Roman “philosopher” who founded the school of Neo-Platonism in Rome. Neo-Platonism marked the end-state of ancient Greek philosophy, the demise of ancient Science, and heralded a return to mysticism, superstition, religion, and the tyranny of unquestioning Faith. Because Neo-Platonism was the last pathetic gasp of a once-brilliant culture, it would be well at this point to re-trace the developments in the mind of man which led to the rise and fall of Natural Philosophy .... Back in the mists of time, even before the advent of civilization, men found that their lives were more secure if they banded together in cooperation. A single man was weak and vulnerable, and was no match for even the cubs of other animals, but a group of men working together could bring down even a fully-grown mastodon. Not long after they began to band together in this way, they must have discovered that cooperation is impossible if every man does what he likes without regard for others, and so it was discovered that rules were necessary to ensure that people were not at cross purposes.

In so doing, she presents a radical new perspective on the philosophy of Plotinus and engages in an intense, detailed, and critical re-reading of Plotinus and his commentators. This effect is witnessed in her choice of texts, from the early and very famous treatise "The Three Initial Hypostases" (V,1[10]) to her very singular use and analysis of the late treatise "On Love" (III,5[50]). Of interest to scholars in Plotinian studies, this book has yet a larger audience as the author investigates the full range of Plotinian epistemology from the originative production of the One, that is the Intellect, to the last declension of true being that is Nature, the lower part of world Soul. The style is fluid and appeals to scholars of ancient philosophy as well as more contemporary discussions in the field of metaphysics and epistemology. Chapter 1 sets forth the basic problematic of the work in terms of the Plotinian doctrine of two acts, the intrinsic act of being and the derived act of being, and introduces the central theme of the study, namely that discursive knowledge for Plotinus consists in a vision of Soul which must be actualized. Aporetic in outcome, this first part of the study points out the many difficulties attached to having such knowledge at all.

    Plotinus u s) [ key Porphyry wrote a biography of him and was responsible for the arrangement of his works, which were written after 253, into six Enneads, or groups of nine treatises. The theories of Plotinus were fundamentally those of Plato but included elements of other Greek philosophies as well, all drawn together into an original system that rapidly won followers and in time had considerable influence on the thinkers of the Christian Church, although Plotinus himself opposed Christianity.

Plotinus for the 21st Century
In 1979, when I was pursuing my doctorate in Early Christianity at Brown University, my closest graduate school friend was John Peter Kenney. John was a Catholic from Lawrence, MA, a brilliant and articulate thinker whose love for Augustine was gradually leading him to take full cognizance of the Neoplatonic tradition in philosophy. So he turned to the shadowy world of the Middle Platonists but, even more, to the work of Plotinus. In great elation one day John told me that he had just received a fellowship to study at the University of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Halifax was where A.H. Armstrong, known as "Hillary" to his friends, the greatest living scholar of Plotinus, held forth. I knew of Armstrong because John would constantly regale me with his insights on the importance of the "apophatic" tradition in Christian theology (i.e., "negative theology"), which he thought needed recapturing in our day. John has never lost his love for Plotinus; his 1991 book on

At Alexandria he attended the lectures of Ammonius Saccas, the founder of the system, until 242, when he joined the Persian expedition of Gordian III, with the object of studying Persian and Indian philosophy on the spot. After the assassination of Gordian in 244, Plotinus was obliged to take refuge in Antioch, from where he made his way to Rome and set up as a teacher there. He soon attracted a large number of pupils, the most distinguished of whom were Amelius, Eustochius and Porphyry . The emperor Gallienus and his wife Salonina were also his enthusiastic admirers, and favored his idea of founding a Platonic Commonwealth (Platonopolis) in Campania (recall also Bishop

By McEvilley, Thomas
V. 30: 2 (April 1980)
pp. 181-193
Thomas McEvilley is Professor in the Institute for the Arts at Rice University. p.181
I. AIMS AND SCOPE
As A. H. Armstrong has said, and virtually every scholarly commentator on Plotinus has agreed, "It is possible to derive from the Enneads several divergent and not completely reconcilable constructions of reality." Perhaps the most fundamental question is whether to emphasize the ontic-ontological aspect of Plotinus' thought or its mentalist-idealist aspect. Plotinus himself vacillates between these two emphases in such a way that neither may clearly and finally be identified as his essential meaning. In the first case the three hypostases appear as a series of different relationships between unity and multiplicity (Parmenidean Being and non-Being), in the second case, as a series of different states of sensibility or different subject-object relationships: The One: unity-unio mystica-pure subject
Mind: unity-in-multiplicity-intuition-interpenetrated subject and object
Soul: unity and multiplicity-sensation and discursive thought alienated subject and object Most commentators have chosen the ontological emphasis, which brings Plotinus more into line with Plato. If this path is chosen, then Plotinus' thought displays certain important similarities with the Upanisadic-Vedaantic philosophy, and a good deal has been written on that subject (though it cannot be said to have been fully explored).
