商品簡介
Plotinus, the most profound philosopher of the third century C. E., has been influential on Byzantine and Western Christianity, and Islam. In the West, Augustine brought Plotinian philosophy into Christianity, ensuring the interest of a long line of Christian thinkers. As Margaret Miles shows, Plotinus's philosophy holds both perennial attraction and offers specific contributions to particular issues at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
Miles offers a fresh interpretation which situates Plotinus's philosophical ideas in the context of the society and culture in which those ideas developed.
