The first volume in a landmark commentary on an important and influential work of ancient philosophy This is the first volume of a groundbreaking commentary on one of the most important works of ancient philosophy, the Enneads of Plotinus—a text that formed the basis of Neoplatonism and had a deep influence on early Christian thought and medieval and Renaissance philosophy. This volume covers the first three of the six Enneads, as well as Porphyry's Life of Plotinus, a document in which Plotinus’s student—the collector and arranger of the Enneads—introduces the philosopher and his work. A landmark contribution to modern Plotinus scholarship, Paul Kalligas’s commentary is the most detailed and extensive ever written for the whole of the Enneads. For each of the treatises in the first three Enneads, Kalligas provides a brief introduction that presents the philosophical background against which Plotinus’s contribution can be assessed; a synopsis giving the main lines and the articulation of the argument; and a running commentary placing Plotinus’s thought in its intellectual context and making evident the systematic association of its various parts with each other.

Excerpt from Plotinus on the Beautiful: Being the Sixth Treatise of the First Ennead The treatise of the Beautiful was the first of Plotinus' writings. The thesis of it is broadcast throughout the Enneads. Even the treatise of the Origin of Evil ends on the note of Beauty, Beauty present, dimly, in all visible evil lest men be disheartened and the gods unhappy, present "for remembrance." For all the Universe is symbol, by right of being Emanation, and the One-All is the Eternal Beauty. A certain literalness here and there is intentional: the translation belongs to an entire version now well in hand, the first complete in English, and that may appear in the whole to be only the due respect of mannerism which in an isolated fragment gives a jar. Sources, &c: d104, Richard Volkman, Creuzer (Oxon): Latin translation of Ficino, German of Herman Mueller, French of Bouillet, Barthelemy St.-Hilaire; Commentaries of Vacherot and Jules Simon.
