This is a decent overview and analysis of the philosophy of Plotinus, coming in 2 volumes with around 500 pages in total, originally given as talks in the rarely uninteresting Gifford series of lectures. The author was a former professor at Cambridge, and Dean of St Pauls, and much of the book discusses how Neoplatonism and the philosophy of Plotinus share their substance with Christianity, due in part to the large influence that it had during the early years of theological scholarship.
The chapters focus on different aspects of Plotinus’ writings: matter, soul, spirit, religion, aesthetics, morals, and The Absolute.
