Her remarks celebrated the academy and charted a course for American religious studies in the early years of the 21st century. In the excerpt below, Miles discusses the philosopher Plotinus, the subject of her new book Plotinus on Body and Beauty: Society, Philosophy, and Religion in Third-Century Rome (Blackwell). The mid-third century philosopher, Plotinus, had a remarkable influence on Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. In a time when philosophy and religion were not distinguished, Plotinus advocated a way of life, a spiritual discipline, and attentiveness to the multiple beauties of experience as evidence of their origin in the Great Beauty, the source of life. The one life permeates and sustains the universe in all its glorious and richly varied particularity, and all living beings participate in the one life-giving soul. Plotinus's philosophical and religious interest lay in what is within our power. He understood two interrelated spiritual disciplines as within our power. First, he advocated the practice of contemplation in which one

John was a Catholic from Lawrence, MA, a brilliant and articulate thinker whose love for Augustine was gradually leading him to take full cognizance of the Neoplatonic tradition in philosophy.

Armstrong, known as "Hillary" to his friends, the greatest living scholar of Plotinus, held forth. I knew of Armstrong because John would constantly regale me with his insights on the importance of the "apophatic" tradition in Christian theology (i.e., "negative theology"), which he thought needed recapturing in our day.

http://www.hypatia-lovers.com/AncientGreeks/Section26.html

Extractions: Plotinus (circa A.D. 205 - 270) and Neo-Platonism Born in Lycopolis, Egypt, and educated in Alexandria, Plotinus was the mystical Roman philosopher who founded the school of Neo-Platonism in Rome. Neo-Platonism marked the end-state of ancient Greek philosophy, the demise of ancient Science, and heralded a return to mysticism, superstition, religion, and the tyranny of unquestioning Faith. Because Neo-Platonism was the last pathetic gasp of a once-brilliant culture, it would be well at this point to re-trace the developments in the mind of man which led to the rise and fall of Natural Philosophy .... Back in the mists of time, even before the advent of civilization, men found that their lives were more secure if they banded together in cooperation. A single man was weak and vulnerable, and was no match for even the cubs of other animals, but a group of men working together could bring down even a fully-grown mastodon. Not long after they began to band together in this way, they must have discovered that cooperation is impossible if every man does what he likes without regard for others, and so it was discovered that rules were necessary to ensure that people were not at cross purposes.

Extractions: Plotinus was the founder of Neoplatonism, the dominant philosophical movement of the Graeco-Roman world in late antiquity, and the most significant thinker of the movement. He is sometimes described as the last great pagan philosopher.His writings, the so called Enneads Life and writings General characteristics The One and the hierarchy of principles ... Influence We possess a fairly reliable account of Plotinus' life and writings by Porphyry , his student and editor. Porphyry composed a biography, On the Life of Plotinus and the Order of his Books , which prefaced his posthumous edition of Plotinus' writings. At the age of twenty eight Plotinus began his philosophical studies in Alexandria under a certain Ammonius (often called Ammonius Saccas, and not to be confused with Ammonius the teacher of Plutarch of Chaeronea (§1) or with Ammonius, son of Hermeas ) and studied with him for several years. After making a futile attempt at a journey to the East in order to acquaint himself with the philosophy of Persia and India, he settled in Rome at the age of forty. He established a school in Rome and stayed there except during his final illness. The extant corpus of Plotinus' writings is one of the largest we have of any ancient philosopher, and we probably possess everything he wrote. His works are treatises, written in Greek, that grew out of discussions in his school, and vary greatly in length and scope. Porphyry arranged the treatises according to subject matter into six 'enneads' - six sets of nine treatises. In order to arrive at this division he had to split some treatises.

Extractions: "The Stoics used the four categories, substance, quality, disposition, and relative disposition , as methodological principles in all three branches of their philosophy. Moreover, in each case the third and fourth categories, disposition and relative disposition, embraced the most important questions. To the extent that the categories supply a methodological framework common to all three departments of philosophy, they constitute a unifying element. Perhaps they cannot provide an instrument for resolving all the contradictions attributed to the Stoics, but at least they give a clue to that inner unity of which the Stoics themselves boasted."

He held that the ultimate goal of mystical union with the One or Good (the source of all being) can be achieved by intense moral and intellectual discipline. From the One or Good, the various levels of reality emanate timelessly. The first level is the Divine Intellect, in which the Ideas (Plato called them Forms ) are living intelligences and archetypes of the things of the world of sense. The next level is the Soul, the active principle forming and ordering the visible universe. People can choose to live on the level of the lower Soul (Nature) or the higher Soul (Intellect). Plotinus studied from the age of 28 under Ammonius Saccas (died AD 243) in Alexandria. He taught first in Alexandria and in 244 went to Rome, where he founded a philosophy school.

After the assassination of Gordian in 244, Plotinus was obliged to take refuge in Antioch , whence he made his way to Rome and set up as a teacher there. He soon attracted a large number of pupils, the most distinguished of whom were Amelius, Eustochius and Porphyry . The emperor Gallienus and his wife Salonina were also his enthusiastic admirers, and favoured his idea of founding a Platonic Commonwealth (Platonopolis) in Campania (cf. Bishop Berkeley's scheme for the Bermuda islands), but the opposition of Gallienus's counsellors and the death of Plotinus prevented the plan from being carried out.

Extractions: pp. 181-193 Thomas McEvilley is Professor in the Institute for the Arts at Rice University. p.181 As A. H. Armstrong has said, and virtually every scholarly commentator on Plotinus has agreed, "It is possible to derive from the Enneads several divergent and not completely reconcilable constructions of reality." Perhaps the most fundamental question is whether to emphasize the ontic-ontological aspect of Plotinus' thought or its mentalist-idealist aspect. Plotinus himself vacillates between these two emphases in such a way that neither may clearly and finally be identified as his essential meaning. In the first case the three hypostases appear as a series of different relationships between unity and multiplicity (Parmenidean Being and non-Being), in the second case, as a series of different states of sensibility or different subject-object relationships: The One: unity-unio mystica-pure subject Soul: unity and multiplicity-sensation and discursive thought alienated subject and object Most commentators have chosen the ontological emphasis, which brings Plotinus more into line with Plato. If this path is chosen, then Plotinus' thought displays certain important similarities with the Upanisadic-Vedaantic philosophy, and a good deal has been written on that subject (though it cannot be said to have been fully explored).

His attempt to form a Platonic republic in Campania c. 265 was halted by the emperor Gallienus . He was the founder of the school of philosophy known as Neoplatonism ; his collected works, the Enneads (from Greek, enneas c. 305), are the first and greatest collection of Neoplatonic writings.

Renaissance Quarterly artId=18881387;usrSelf=false; In the western world, Plotinus was only a name until 1492.(1) None of his treatises had been translated during the Middle Ages, and the translations dating back to antiquity had been lost. He was not totally unknown, however, thanks to scholars like Firmicus Maternus, Saint Augustine, Macrobius, and to those parts of the works of Proclus translated in the thirteenth century by William of Moerbeke. But Plotinus's own writings remained completely unknown, and as Vespasiano da Bisticci observed in his Vite, "senza i libri non si poteva fare nulla" ("without the books, nothing can be done").(2) This fact was to change completely only with the publication by Marsilio Ficino of his Latin translation of the Enneads.
