Description
Plotinus on the Soul offers a sophisticated Platonist theory of the soul in antiquity. This study explores Plotinus' psychology and its innovative interpretation of Plato's Timaeus.
The notion of the soul is crucial for explaining the rational order of the world, according to Plotinus. He discusses various types of individual souls, including those of stars, humans, and animals, as well as a unique entity he introduced: the hypostasis Soul.
This book provides a detailed explanation of the hypostasis Soul, while also examining other types of soul with an emphasis on the human soul. It explains Plotinus' original views on rational thought and its relation to experience.
