Plotinus – The Enneads Plotinus (205-270 CE) was the founder of Neoplatonism. He was born in Lycopolis, Egypt, and became interested in philosophy when he was 28. He studied philosophy in Alexandria under Ammonius Saccus (175-250 CE), before traveling to Persia in 243, and settling in Rome in 244, at the age of 40. In Rome, he taught philosophy, and became a friend of the Emperor Gallienus. Plotinus tried to persuade Gallienus to build a city called Platonopolis which was to be governed according to the model of Plato’s Republic , but the plan eventually had to be abandoned. Plotinus lived in Rome from 244 to 268, and produced his philosophical writings from 253 to 270. He died in 270, in Campania, Italy. After his death, Plotinus’s writings were edited by his student Porphyry, who arranged them into six groups, each consisting of nine treatises, making a total of fifty-four treatises (the title Enneads refers to these "groups of nine," and is derived from the Greek word for nine, ennea ). The Enneads are an extended investigation of the nature of the Soul, and of the relation of the Soul to divine Intellect and to divine Unity.

Plotinus Plotinus, (died about A.D. ) is widely considered the father of Neoplatonism . Much of our biographical information about Plotinus comes from Porphyry's preface to his edition of Plotinus' Enneads Porphyry believed Plotinus was 66 years old when he died in the second year of the reign of the emperor Claudius II , and estimated the year of his teacher's birth as around AD . Plotinus disliked "being in the body", so he never discussed his ancestry, or his place or date of birth. Eunapius however reports that he was born in Lyco or Lycopolis in Egypt He took up the study of philosophy at the age of 27, around the year 232, and went to Alexandria to study. Plotinus was dissatisfied with every teacher he met until a friend suggested he go to Ammonius Saccas . Upon hearing Ammonius lecture, he declared to his friend "This was the man I was looking for," and began to study intently under this teacher. Plotinus spent the next eleven years in Alexandria until his 38th year, when he decided to investigate the philosophical teachings of the Persians and the Indians . As a result he left Alexandria and joined the army of Gordian III as it marched on Persia. However, on Gordian's death he found himself abandoned in a hostile land, and with difficulty found his way back to safety in

Ennead I.6 [1], On Beauty
Plotinus / Translated by Stephen MacKenna 1. Beauty addresses itself chiefly to sight; but there is a beauty for the hearing too, as in certain combinations of words and in all kinds of music, for melodies and cadences are beautiful; and minds that lift themselves above the realm of sense to a higher order are aware of beauty in the conduct of life, in actions, in character, in the pursuits of the intellect; and there is the beauty of the virtues. What loftier beauty there may be, yet, our argument will bring to light. What, then, is it that gives comeliness to material forms and draws the ear to the sweetness perceived in sounds, and what is the secret of the beauty there is in all that derives from Soul? Is there some One Principle from which all take their grace, or is there a beauty peculiar to the embodied and another for the bodiless? Finally, one or many, what would such a Principle be? Consider that some things, material shapes for instance, are gracious not by anything inherent but by something communicated, while others are lovely of themselves, as, for example, Virtue. The same bodies appear sometimes beautiful, sometimes not; so that there is a good deal between being body and being beautiful.

Plotinus 1. Biographical Information Information on the life of Plotinus comes from Porphyry's The Life of Plotinus ennea means "nine"). Plotinus' Enneads are long and repetitive at times, but give a comprehensive account of Plotinus' philosophical views.
2. Philosophical Views 2.1. Introduction Plato held that there existed three "entities" in the intelligible realm. There were, of course, the Ideas (or Forms), in which sensible objects participate to be what they are. With the Ideas are also found souls, at least those that were not unfortunate enough to find themselves embodied. Transcending the Ideas was a particular Idea, that of the Good, about which Socrates refused to speak in Republic 6. This Idea of the Good seems to be identical to Being itself, which transcends the Ideas, in Phaedrus , and it must be noted that Aristotle reports that Plato taught that the One is identical to the Good and is the cause of the Forms ( Eudemian Ethics Metaphysics 1.6).

1. Life and Writings
Owing to the unusually fulsome biography by Plotinus' disciple Porphyry, we know more about Plotinus' life than we do about most ancient philosophers'. The main facts are these. Plotinus was born in Lycopolis, Egypt in 204 or 205 C.E. When he was 28, a growing interest in philosophy led him to the feet of one Ammonius Saccas in Alexandria. After ten or eleven years with this obscure though evidently dominating figure, Plotinus was moved to study Persian and Indian philosophy. In order to do so, he attached himself to the military expedition of Emperor Gordian III to Persia in 243. The expedition was aborted when Gordian was assassinated by his troops. Plotinus thereupon seems to have abandoned his plans, making his way to Rome in 245. There he remained until his death in 270 or 271. Porphyry informs us that during the first ten years of his time in Rome, Plotinus lectured exclusively on the philosophy of Ammonius. During this time he also wrote nothing. Porphyry tells us that when he himself arrived in Rome in 263, the first 21 of Plotinus' treatises had already been written. The remainder of the 54 treatises constituting his

The Six Enneads
By Plotinus Written 250 A.C.E. Translated by Stephen Mackenna and B. S. Page Table of Contents The First Ennead First Tractate THE ANIMATE AND THE MAN. Pleasure and distress, fear and courage, desire and aversion, where have these affections and experiences their seat? Clearly, either in the Soul alone, or in the Soul as employing the body, or in some third entity deriving from both. And for this third entity, again, there are two possible modes: it might be either a blend or a distinct form due to the blending. And what applies to the affections applies also to whatsoever acts, physical or mental, spring from them. We have, therefore, to examine discursive-reason and the ordinary mental action upon objects of sense, and enquire whether these have the one seat with the affections and experiences, or perhaps sometimes the one seat, sometimes another.

Plotinus : Biography
Plotinus, (died about A.D. 270) is widely considered the father of Neoplatonism. Much of our biographical information about Plotinus comes from Porphyry's preface to his edition of Plotinus' Enneads.
Porphyry believed Plotinus was 66 years old when he died in the second year of the reign of the emperor Claudius II, and estimated the year of his teacher's birth as around AD 205. Plotinus disliked "being in the body", so he never discussed his ancestry, or his place or date of birth. Eunapius however reports that he was born in Lyco or Lycopolis in Egypt.
He took up the study of philosophy at the age of 27, around the year 232, and went to Alexandria to study. Plotinus was dissatisfied with every teacher he met until a friend suggested he go to Ammonius Saccas. Upon hearing Ammonius lecture, he declared to his friend "This was the man I was looking for," and began to study intently under this teacher. Plotinus spent the next eleven years in Alexandria until his 38th year, when he decided to investigate the philosophical teachings of the Persians and the Indians. As a result he left Alexandria and joined the army of Gordian III as it marched on Persia. However, on Gordian's death he found himself abandoned in a hostile land, and with difficulty found his way back to safety in Antioch.

PLOTINUS
c. c NEOPLATONISM Born in Egypt Plotinus studied philosophy at Alexandria. He travelled to Persia with the abortive expedition of Emperor Gordianus III and later founded his own school in Rome. He was not a Christian, but nevertheless a man of deep spirituality and morality, and he led an ascetic life. His thought underwent considerable development throughout his career, and although his writings were edited by his pupil Porphyry, c c . 405, (who became the primary instrument for the channelling of his philosophy throughout the Roman Empire), they tend to remain unsystematic, his numerous ideas being spread diversely throughout the Enneads
