Plotinus, Porphyry
Enneads
Step into the enlightening realm of Plotinus, the revered Neoplatonic philosopher, through his extraordinary work, the Enneads (ΕΝΝΕΑΔΕΣ). This collection, expertly curated by his dedicated student Porphyry (ΠΟΡΦΥΡΙΟΣ), comprises fifty-four books organized into six Enneads, each featuring nine thought-provoking texts. Translator Kenneth Sylvan Guthrie presents these writings in chronological order, offering a fresh lens on Plotinuss philosophy. In this series, we honor Porphyrys original layout, using Roman numerals for the Enneads and Hindu-Arabic numerals for the books—for instance, VI.9 indicates the ninth book of the sixth Ennead. To enhance your listening experience, a hyperlinked table of contents is available on Volume 1, Page 3 of the gutenberg.org text, allowing you to easily navigate to specific Enneads. Join us on this captivating auditory exploration of profound philosophical insights! (Summary by Geoffrey Edwards)
