A thinker in the vein of St. John of the Cross, Rumi, and Simone Weil, he's an example of what Aldous Huxley called the "perennial philosophy," the universal thread that winds through all mystical thinking. Plotinus emphasizes the qualities of gentleness, contemplation, and solitude as paths to higher levels of consciousness. These traits, which seem so different from the ideals of Stoicism, Epicureanism, and other better known branches of Greek philosophy, formed the basis of Neoplatonism, which influenced philosophers in both the Christian and Islamic tradition. Pierre Hadot's brief book provides a useful summary of Plotinus' ideas and serves as an introduction to his Enneads, which can be a formidable text.

Since its original publication in France in 1963, Pierre Hadot's lively philosophical portrait of Plotinus remains the preeminent introduction to the man and his thought. Michael Chase's lucid translation--complete with a useful chronology and analytical bibliography--at last makes this book available to the English-speaking world. Hadot carefully examines Plotinus's views on the self, existence, love, virtue, gentleness, and solitude. He shows that Plotinus, like other philosophers of his day, believed that Plato and Aristotle had already articulated the essential truths; for him, the purpose of practicing philosophy was not to profess new truths but to engage in spiritual exercises so as to live philosophically. Seen in this light, Plotinus's counsel against fixation on the body and all earthly matters stemmed not from disgust or fear, but rather from his awareness of the negative effect that bodily preoccupation and material concern could have on spiritual exercises.

> LE TEASING DE L'OEUVRE DE PLOTIN ! — Pierre HADOT propose une étude synthétique de PLOTIN et de son oeuvre, avec un sens abouti de la vulgarisation. Il donne ainsi toutes les clés pour amorcer la lecture de PLOTIN. Mieux encore, il donne envie de découvrir ce philosophe du IIIème siècle, dont l'appel spirituel et mystique a peut-être plus que jamais besoin d'être entendu. La rédaction est par ailleurs juste et agréable. Je conseille !
