Plotinus (c. 204–270) is one of the most outstanding thinkers, the only heir of the great Plato, this “god of philosophers.” The creator of his own original system of philosophy, life and worldview, Plotinus is widely known to the Russian thinking reader, but is also practically unknown to him. This book is intended to rediscover the very topic of Plotinus.

Translation from ancient Greek, introductory article and comments by T.G. Sidasha, R.V. Svetlova.

The first edition of the complete corpus of works of Plotinus in Russian opens with the first Ennead - nine treatises united by anthropological themes, translated and commented for the first time, with the application of the original Greek text.
