Extractions: 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.

http://eawc.evansville.edu/anthology/beauty.htm

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: 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).

Stanford University This is a file in the archives of the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy First published Mon 30 Jun, 2003 th 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

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 METAPHYSICS/ RELIGIOUS PHILOSOPHY gen. 1
