Plotinos Complete Works V1 and V2 is a two-volume set that contains the complete works of Plotinos, a philosopher who lived in the third century AD.

The first volume of this set contains Plotinos' Enneads, a collection of his writings that were compiled by his student Porphyry after his death. These writings cover a wide range of topics, including metaphysics, ethics, and theology. They are presented in the original Greek, along with an English translation by A.H. Armstrong.The second volume of this set contains additional works by Plotinos, including his treatises on the soul, his commentary on the Parmenides of Plato, and his letters. These works are also presented in the original Greek, along with an English translation by A.H. Armstrong.Overall, Plotinos Complete Works V1 and V2 is an essential resource for anyone interested in the philosophy of Neoplatonism, and a valuable addition to any collection of ancient philosophical texts.1918. Volume 1 and 2. The works of Plotinus are presented in chronological order, grouped into four periods; with Biography by Porphyry, Eunapius and Suidas, Commentary by Porphyry, Illustrations by Iamblichus and Ammonius, Studies in sources, development, influence; and an Index of subjects, thoughts and words. By fusing parallel streams of thought, Plotinus became the representative of the post-Platonic age, and translated Greek philosophy into terms later taken up by Christianity. He was the bridge between Plato and Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Calvin and the Thirty-nine Articles. For his age he did what Plato had done for his, and thereby takes rank beside the latter as one of the peaks in the mountain chains of human thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
