The Enneads by Plotinus is a work which is central to the history of
philosophy in late antiquity. This volume is the first complete edition of
the Enneads in English for over seventy-five years, and also includes
Porphyry’s Life of Plotinus. Led by Lloyd P. Gerson, a team of experts
present up-to-date translations which are based on the best available
text, the editio minor of Henry and Schwyzer and its corrections. The
translations are consistent in their vocabulary, making the volume ideal
for the study of Plotinus’ philosophical arguments. They also offer
extensive annotation to assist the reader, together with cross-references
and citations which will enable users more easily to navigate the texts.
This monumental edition will be invaluable for scholars of Plotinus
with or without ancient Greek, as well as for students of the Platonic
tradition.
Lloyd P. Gerson is Professor of Philosophy at the University of
Toronto. He is author of Ancient Epistemology (Cambridge, 2009) and
editor of The Cambridge Companion to Plotinus (Cambridge, 1996) and
The Cambridge History of Philosophy in Late Antiquity (Cambridge, 2015).
