Neoplatonism

"Pauliina Remes's...introduction reassesses Neoplatonism's philosophical credentials, from its founding by Plotinus (204-70 CE) through the closure of the Academy in Athens in 529. She explores the teachings of the leading Neoplatonists such as Plotinus, Porphyry, Iamblichus, Proclus, Simplicius and Damascius, with an emphasis on their shared assumptions about metaphysics, epistemology, philosophical psychology, philosophy of self, as well as ethics and politics."--P.
