Description: Plotinus on the Soul by Damian Caluori Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This is the first comprehensive study of Plotinus theory of the soul for half a century. It shows how Plotinus derives his psychology from an innovative interpretation of Platos Timaeus and proposes it as a response to Aristotelian and Stoic conceptions of the soul. Publisher Description Plotinus on the Soul is a study of Plotinus psychology, which is arguably the most sophisticated Platonist theory of the soul in antiquity. Plotinus offers a Platonist response to Aristotelian and Stoic conceptions of the soul that is at the same time an innovative interpretation of Platos Timaeus. He considers the notion of the soul to be crucial for explaining the rational order of the world. To this end, he discusses not only different types of individual soul (such as the souls of the stars, and human and animal souls) but also an entity that he was the first to introduce into philosophy: the so-called hypostasis Soul. This is the first study to provide a detailed explanation of this entity, but it also discusses the other types of soul, with an emphasis on the human soul, and explains Plotinus original views on rational thought and its relation to experience. Author Biography Damian Caluori is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas. His research focuses on ancient philosophy, with an emphasis on late ancient Platonism.
