Plotinus on Eudaimonia: A Commentary on Ennead I.4

Autor Kieran McGroarty
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 oct 2006
A philosophical commentary on a section of the Enneads written by the last great Neoplatonist thinker, Plotinus. The treatise is entitled 'Concerning Well-Being' and was written at a late stage in Plotinus' life when he was suffering from an illness that was shortly to kill him. Its main concern is with the good man and how he should pursue the good life. The treatise is therefore central to our understanding of Plotinus' ethical theory, and the commentary seeks to explicate and elucidate that theory. Plotinus' views on how one should live in order to fulfil oneself as a human being are as relevant now as they were in the third century AD. All Greek and Latin is translated, while short summaries introducing the content of each chapter help to make Plotinus' argument clear even to the non-specialist.

Recenzii

This is a useful addition to the small collection of English commentaries on Plotinus
...a very readable translation...Such extremly detailed work will be helpful for scholars who wish to be clear about Plotinus' philosophical predecessors and his relation to them.
This is a careful and helpful commentary on an important treatise...Like so much of Plotinus's work this treatise is not only the record of an ongoing argument, but an attempt to reimagine his, our, reality.
McGroarty's comments on the text of the treatise are generally helpful and informative, clarifying many points of detail and assisting the reader in understanding the links connecting the various ideas and how they contribute to the overall argument of the treatise...[this] book is a substantial contribution to the detailed study of Plotinian ethical theory and one can only wish that more works of this kind would be produced in the future.
This is an important and interesting work
