Plotinus

Beschreibung

Plotinus is one of the most challenging of Greek philosophers, but also one of the most influential. G.M. Gurtler uses a single paradigm, the structure of unity, to bring out in a new way the consistency of his thought and its synthesis of the Greek tradition. The structure of unity was discerned in the context of the production of the soul, but Gurtler shows that the same structure applies to the technical terms for the psychological faculties and operations, clearing up often baffling problems of usage. Besides students of Plotinus, all interested in Greek thought will find this invaluable.

Stimmen zu »Plotinus«

«This is an interesting solution to the problem of unity in Plotinus's thought, and it should be of interest to Plotinian scholars.» (Antonia Tripolitis, Religious Studies Review)
«This is an important and illuminating book, which builds upon the work of the late Professor Jésus Igal (to whose memory it is dedicated) and which succeeds in giving new definition to the relationship between unity and multiplicity in the thought of Plotinus.» (Kevin Corrigan, Ancient Philosophy)
«This is a very carefully crafted study of the thought of Plotinus which should mark a significant enrichment of Plontinian scholarship. It is focused on the psychology of Plotinus but as integrated more closely with his metaphysics than has previously been recognized. I find the analyses of the author both illuminating and convincing.» (W. Norris Clarke, S.J., International Philosophical Quarterly)
