But the next generation of Canadian Plotinians, if there is to be one, will need to be nurtured by more accessible guides than the present `companion.' Now that our sadly ailing classics departments have largely abandoned the study of ancient philosophy, that generation can be drawn only from students specializing in philosophy. Their needs and interests might have been more effectively addressed in the present volume.

Porphyry's Launching-Points to the Realm of Mind An Introduction to the Neoplatonic Philosophy of Plotinus Translated by Kenneth Guthrie Introduction by Michael Hornum Porphyry (circa 233-305 A.D.) is one of the most fascinating figures in the history of Western philosophy. A disciple of Plotinus, he was responsible for editing and transmitting the writings of his great master, and was a brilliant philosopher in his own right. Porphyry authored a great number and variety of philosophical works, many of which have either been lost or destroyed. Among these writings are a detailed treatise on vegetarianism (he considers the question both pro and con), several important metaphysical expositions, as well as a unique contribution to the science of textual criticism, Against the Christians , in which he correctly demonstrated that "The Book of Daniel" was a late forgery of the Maccabean period. This book is a summary of the teachings of the great Neoplatonic philosopher Plotinus and deals with the nature of incorporeal principles in the realm of Mind or Spirit. Porphyry shows how the realm of Mind, because it is nowhere, not being limited by time or space, is present everywhere — as Michael Hornum notes in his introduction, "Our higher self does not lie within us, as if an internal organ, or hover somewhere about the galaxy, but is present to each of us with an intimacy closer than any corporeal thing can have." Both Porphyry's text and Hornum's introduction invite the reader, in the words of Plotinus, "to wake to another mode of seeing, which every man has but which few men use."

II. 5) with the intention of creating an edition of it. Although much discussion over a number of years took place, on paper their design was never followed through. In 2000, when I was approached by Professor John Dillon, the dossier contained a translation of the treatise (of which only the translation of chapter 3 done by Prof. Dillon's was original while the others were adapted versions of MacKeena or Armstrong's translations). The dossier contained notes ranging from the very brief to the more elaborate and included the draft of a chapter of the introduction by Prof. John J. Cleary (a draft later to become: 'Powers that be': the concept of potency in Plato and Aristotle published in Methexis XI / 1998 pp.19-64) and the draft of the opening of another chapter from the introduction by Prof. John Dillon.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF ASTROLOGY By JohnK Hammelton THE SYSTEM OF PLOTINUS It is said that Plotinus bridged the gap between Eastern religions and Western thought. His work is thoroughly grounded in Greek philosophy, and his debt to Plato is without question. But Plotinus' great contribution to philosophy was inspired through his own interior experiences. This 'inner illumination' became the means of explicating the architecture of the universe, which is but a reflection or image of the divine within every human soul. THE SYSTEM The ONE has a strange characteristic about it. It cannot be known. Its nature transcends all the knowable, hence we cannot properly attach any name to it. We are only able to speak of what it is not, not what it is: "We do not grasp it by knowledge," Plotinus says, "but that does not mean that we are utterly void of it; we hold it not so as to state it, but so as to be able to speak about it. . . unable to state it we may still possess it."6 What Plotinus seems to be saying is that the ONE is too near to us to become an object for our thought, and when we try to make it an object, we fall away from it. As he says, "We hover about it trying to interpret our own feelings about the ONE, sometimes drawing near and sometimes falling away in our own complexities about it."7 The ONE is a cause only in that its perfection implies an act, and the most perfect form of expressive act is thought or Intellection. In other words, perfection is not something that comes out of nothing; as a process it must be active or it could not become what it is. Perfection, as an active process, is realized as a product of thought.

PLOTINUS The bonds of human fate are loosed for you, and, strong of heart, you beat your eager way from out the roaring tumult of this fleshly life to the shores of that wave-washed coast, free from the thronging of the guilty, thence to take the grateful path of the sinless soul. THE DELPHIC ORACLE Creativity and decadence were mingled in a mixture of anticipation and apprehension in Alexandria during the second and third centuries of this era. Philosophers and theologians taught and fought over every conceivable metaphysical and practical issue, at once supporting a freedom of mind seldom known in recorded history while also offering fantastic forms of escape from the radical parameters of the human condition. Magicians and monks, emperors and entrepreneurs flooded Alexandria's streets and lecture halls with promises and predictions. Some preached the imminent end of the world, and indeed the doom of the Roman imperium was already in evidence. Others offered little more than imported potions to satisfy the hedonistic pursuits of those who sought surcease from the world's endless, weary round. Not all, however, were caught up in the contest between fatalism and salvationism. A few men and women of noble mind and compassionate heart sought out the inner meaning of forces and events and translated their lasting discoveries into words and deeds based on ethical understanding and metaphysical awareness.

Plotinus A main channel through whom Plato's ideas influenced the middle ages, Plotinus (204-270 CE) and his disciple Porphyry combined Plato's rationalism with mysticism to produce a powerfully influential version of neo-Platonism. Plotinus' works were edited and collected by Porphyry into six books of nine chapters each, known as the Enneads (Greek for "The Nines"). Plato had suggested, in Book VI of the Republic , that the Form of the Good was supreme in the world of the Forms. In fact, he said, What gives truth to the objects of knowledge, and to the knowing mind the power to know, is the Form of the Good. As it is the cause of knowledge and truth, think of it also as being the object of knowledge. Both knowledge and truth are beautiful, but you will be right to think of the Good as other and more beautiful than they. As in the visible world light and sight are rightly considered sunlike, but it is wrong to think of them as the sun, so here it is right to think of knowledge and truth as Good-like, but wrong to think of either as the Good, for the Good must be honored even more than they. ... [A]s for the objects of knowledge, not only is their being known due to the Good, but also their real being, though the Good is not being but superior to and beyond being in dignity and power" ( Republic The Enneads contain a chapter on Beauty (I.6) which was highly influential in the Middle Ages. After considering other theories of what beauty is, Plotinus concludes that it is formal Unity. When diverse or similar parts are unified by one form, the Soul recognizes and takes pleasure in the form of Unity. This may happen when we view a painting or a sculpture, listen to a piece of music, or follow an elegant mathematical proof. In all these cases, we are drawn toward Unity, and the form of Beauty Itself. We must get there by stages: like people emerging from a dark cave into sunlight, we must become accustomed to the light. In the following passage, Plotinus combines ideas from Plato's allegory of the Cave with themes from the

Life and writings 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 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. Conventionally, references to the

Salvation and the Human Ideal: Plato, Plotinus, Origen By Edward Moore proteus28@juno.com Introduction When we study Platonism, we are studying the history of the realization of an ideal. This ideal is the virtuous human being; and the history of this ideal is a salvation history. Philosophy did not begin with Platonism, but it did attain a self-knowledge, a reflective understanding of what it means to love wisdom, through the influence of the doctrines and problems (mostly through the problems) introduced by Plato. The Pre-Socratic philosophers were called phusikoi , which means that they were concerned primarily with the natural world. Aristotle, in Book A of the Metaphysics , tells us that this concern with the natural world was born of a certain awe or wonderment experienced by the observant, thinking human being, and that this awe is the cause or origin of philosophy. However, it is my view that the guiding spirit of the philosophical enterprise, from the very beginning (and even, perhaps, before what we call philosophy came upon the scene of history) was a concern with and an anxiety over the status of the human being in this ‘wondrous’ world. Nature is only awesome because it affects a being that is, at base, capable of being affected – and of

Since its publication in France in 1963 and through subsequent editions both there and abroad, Pierre Hadot's lively philosophical portrait of Plotinus has established itself as the preeminent introduction to the man and his thought. Michael Chase's lucid translation complete with a useful chronology and analytical bibliography-at last makes this book available to the English-speaking world. Hadot carefully examines Plotinus' views on the self, existence, love, virtue, gentleness, and solitude. He shows that Plotinus, like other philosophers of his day, believed that Plato and Aristotle had already articulated the essential truths; for him, the purpose of practicing philosophy was not to profess new truths but to engage in spiritual exercises so as to live philosophically. Seen in this light, Plotinus' counsel against fixation on the body and all earthly matters stemmed not from disgust or fear, but rather from his awareness of the negative effect that bodily preoccupation and material concern could have on spiritual exercises.
