Other Available Formats
Overview
Plotinus: Then And Now is a book written by G. R. S. Mead that explores the life, teachings, and legacy of the ancient philosopher Plotinus. Mead delves into Plotinus' philosophy, which centers around the concept of the One, the source of all existence, and the idea that humans can achieve a mystical union with the divine through contemplation and self-realization. The book also examines how Plotinus' ideas have been interpreted and applied throughout history, from the early Christian mystics to modern-day New Age thinkers. Mead discusses how Plotinus' ideas influenced the development of Neoplatonism, a philosophical movement that flourished in the late Roman Empire, and how his teachings continue to inspire spiritual seekers today. Mead draws on a variety of sources, including Plotinus' own writings, as well as the works of other philosophers, historians, and mystics, to paint a comprehensive picture of Plotinus' life and philosophy. Ultimately, Plotinus: Then And Now is a fascinating exploration of the enduring legacy of one of the most influential philosophers in history.THIS 22 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Plotinus: The Theosophy of the Greeks, by G.
