Extractions: Greeek Philosopher Plotinus studied philosophy in Alexandria, Egypt. He then joined a military campaign against Persia, in the hope of learning Persian and Indian philosophy. Around 244 he went to Rome at a time when Christian churches competed with Oriental religions. Plotinus, under the influence of these events, developed his own philosophic ideas. He believed that man should reject material things and should purify his soul and to lift it up to a communion with a higher spirit. Plotinus became the founder of the Neo-platonic school of philosophy, which became the most formidable rival of Christianity in the ancient world.

http://eawc.evansville.edu/anthology/beauty.htm

Extractions: Plotinus / Translated by Stephen MacKenna 1. Beauty addresses itself chiefly to sight; but there is a beauty for the hearing too, as in certain combinations of words and in all kinds of music, for melodies and cadences are beautiful; and minds that lift themselves above the realm of sense to a higher order are aware of beauty in the conduct of life, in actions, in character, in the pursuits of the intellect; and there is the beauty of the virtues. What loftier beauty there may be, yet, our argument will bring to light. What, then, is it that gives comeliness to material forms and draws the ear to the sweetness perceived in sounds, and what is the secret of the beauty there is in all that derives from Soul? Is there some One Principle from which all take their grace, or is there a beauty peculiar to the embodied and another for the bodiless? Finally, one or many, what would such a Principle be? Consider that some things, material shapes for instance, are gracious not by anything inherent but by something communicated, while others are lovely of themselves, as, for example, Virtue. The same bodies appear sometimes beautiful, sometimes not; so that there is a good deal between being body and being beautiful.

http://www.alcott.net/alcott/home/champions/Plotinus.html

Extractions: Plotinus is generally considered the founder of the Neoplatonic school of philosophy, though his philosophical system built upon those of his predecessors, Numenius and Ammonius Saccas . Many of his sayings were recorded by Amelius . For the New England Transcendentalists, Plotinus provided intriguing mystical ideas such as the doctrine of the One, the source from which all goodness, truth, and beauty flows. Through this divine "emanation" the universe remains intrinsically positive: Plotinus, like Ralph Waldo Emerson , held that evil is not real but merely privativea failure of the soul to harness the good that is immanently present in the universe and available to all. Plotinus felt that only a faculty superior to both sense and reason, that is, a mystical intuition founded on the personality of the soul, could truly apprehend the infinite. These ideas formed the basis of transcendental concepts such as Emerson's Over-Soul, Amos Bronson Alcott 's theory of Genesis, the possibility of ecstatic union with God, and the perfectibility of humanity through developmental stages.

Plotinus, (died about A.D. ) is widely considered the father of Neo-Platonism . Much of our biographical information about Plotinus comes from Porphyry's preface to his edition of Plotinus' Enneads Porphyry believed Plotinus was 66 years old when he died in the second year of the reign of the emperor Claudius , and estimated the year of his teacher's birth as around AD . Plotinus disliked "being in the body", so he never discussed his ancestry, or his place or date of birth. Eunapius however reports that he was born in Lyco or Lycopolis in Egypt He took up the study of philosophy at the age of 27, around the year 232, and went to

Extractions: Plotinus was born AD 205,, Lyco, or Lycopolis, Egypt? d. 270, Campania ancient philosopher, the centre of an influential circle of intellectuals and men of letters in 3rd-century Rome, who is regarded by modern scholars as the founder of the Neoplatonic school of philosophy. Origins and education. The only important source for the life of Plotinus is the biography that his disciple and editor Porphyry wrote as a preface to his edition of the writings of his master, the Enneads. Other ancient sources add almost no reliable information to what Porphyry relates. This must be mentioned because, though Porphyry's "Life of Plotinus" is the best source available for the life of any ancient philosopher, it has some important deficiencies that must necessarily be reflected in any modern account of the life of Plotinus that does not use a great deal of creative imagination to fill in the gaps. The "Life" is the work of an honest, accurate, hero-worshipping, and serious-minded friend and admirer. Apart from a few fascinating scraps of information about the earlier parts of the life of Plotinus, Porphyry concentrates on the last six years, when he was with his master in Rome. Thus, a fairly complete picture is available only of the last six years of a man who died at the age of 65. It is the elderly Plotinus, as it is the elderly Socrates, who alone is known. Plotinus' own writings contain no autobiographical information, and they can give no unintentional glimpses of his mind or character when he was young; they were all written in the last 15 years of his life. Nothing is known about his intellectual and spiritual development.

(3) But if he returns again to being two, while he remains pure he stays close to the god, so as to be present to him again in that other way if he turns to him again.' (LC 5:272-73) ‘Now it is because you approached the All and did not remain in a part of it, and you did not even say of yourself "I am just so much", but by rejecting the "so much" you have become all. ... You will increase yourself then by rejecting all else, and the All will be present to you in your rejection. ...' (LC 6:358–59) Plotinus - expresses both the negative and the positive pole in the One's relation to all things ‘The One is absent from nothing and from everything. It is present only to those who are prepared for it and are able to receive it, to enter into harmony with it, to grasp and touch it by virtue of their likeness to it, by virtue of that inner power similar to and stemming from the One when it is in that state in which it was when it originated from the One. Thus will the One be "seen" as far as it can become an object of contemplation." (Enn. 6.9.4)

http://www.cscs.umich.edu/~crshalizi/Mirandola/plotinus-on-magic.html

Extractions: Apparently this is the passage in question ( Enneads, IV, iv, 40): But magic spells; how can their efficacy be explained? By the reigning sympathy and by the fact in Nature that there is an agreement of like forces and an opposition of unlike, and by the diversity of those multitudinous powers which converge in the one living universe. There is much drawing and spell-binding dependent on no interfering machination; the true magic is internal to the All, its attractions and, not less, its repulsions. Here is the primal mage and sorcerer- discovered by men who thenceforth turn those same ensorcellations and magic arts upon one another. Love is given in Nature; the qualities inducing love induce mutual approach: hence there has arisen an art of magic love-drawing whose practitioners, by the force of contact implant in others a new temperament, one favouring union as being informed with love; they knit soul to soul as they might train two separate trees towards each other. The magician too draws on these patterns of power, and by ranging himself also into the pattern is able tranquilly to possess himself of these forces with whose nature and purpose he has become identified. Supposing the mage to stand outside the All, his evocations and invocations would no longer avail to draw up or to call down; but as things are he operates from no outside standground, he pulls knowing the pull of everything towards any other thing in the living system. The tune of an incantation, a significant cry, the mien of the operator, these too have a natural leading power over the soul upon which they are directed, drawing it with the force of mournful patterns or tragic sounds- for it is the reasonless soul, not the will or wisdom, that is beguiled by music, a form of sorcery which raises no question, whose enchantment, indeed, is welcomed, exacted, from the performers. Similarly with regard to prayers; there is no question of a will that grants; the powers that answer to incantations do not act by will; a human being fascinated by a snake has neither perception nor sensation of what is happening; he knows only after he has been caught, and his highest mind is never caught. In other words, some influence falls from the being addressed upon the petitioner- or upon someone else- but that being itself, sun or star, perceives nothing of it all.

http://haldjas.folklore.ee/folklore/vol9/plotinus.htm

Extractions: It is a common fact that the impact of the philosophy of Plotinus (204/5 - 270) on the Eastern and Western philosophy as well as to the Christian theology has been immense. Considering that it seems paradoxical that the philosophy of Plotinus has been undertaken systematically and perhaps even comprehensive in the last 20 years only. During this short period of time more research papers have been written about him than during the whole one and a half millennium following his death. The flow broke loose after the final completion of the new text-critical 3-volumed issue of Plotinus' Enneads by Paul Henry and Hans-Rudolph Schwyzer (1973) , which is "undoubtedly the most important contribution to Plotinian scholarship since Porphyry published the Enneads and which has been called with a certain specific hauteur the first scientific edition of Plotinus' works . The Lexicon Plotinianum compiled by John Sleeman and Gilbert Pollet has contributed to the study of Plotinus likewise. All 54 treatises of Plotinus have not attracted equal attention. Some treatises have been constantly reissued with new comments attached, and quite frequently two separate commentaries are issued concurrently. At the same time, there are a small number of treatises that have attracted little or no attention at all, not to mention the republications with comments
