Summary: | Interest in later Greek philosophy has been growing steadily over the last decade. This study brings Plotinus into the contemporary philosophical areas of metaphysics, epistemology, psychology, and ethics. It examines his work both in its historical context and in its sustained systematic rigour. Focusing on Plotinus' defence of Platonism against Aristotle and on the development of neo-Platonism, the analysis reconstructs a systematic account of reality that is relevant to modern debates.
