Plotinus (204/5-270 CE) was once the 1st and maximum of Neoplatonic philosophers. His writings have been edited by means of his disciple Porphyry, who released them decades after his master's demise in six units of 9 treatises each one (the Enneads).
Plotinus appeared Plato as his grasp, and his personal philosophy is a profoundly unique improvement of the Platonism of the 1st centuries of the Christian period and the heavily similar considered the Neopythagoreans, with a few affects from Aristotle and his fans and the Stoics, whose writings he knew good yet used significantly. he's a distinct mix of mystic and Hellenic rationalist. His suggestion ruled later Greek philosophy and stimulated either Christians and Moslems, and continues to be alive this day as a result of its union of rationality and severe non secular adventure.
In his acclaimed variation of Plotinus, Armstrong offers very good introductions to every treatise. His useful notes clarify vague passages and provides connection with parallels in Plotinus and others.

Sample text
I would have loved to go, but I didn’t put up my hand. I felt that I was trapped by circumstances. I was married, had two children and we were struggling financially. My wife was not interested in Meher Baba and I did not think that it would be fair to my family for me to spend money from the family budget, which was my earnings, on a trip to India when we could not afford it. I didn’t mind going without things for myself to do something that I really wanted to do, but I didn’t feel that it was right for me to impose hardships on my family just so that I could do the thing that I wanted to do.
To Beryl Giddens, Baba gave the special blessing of washing some of His clothes. Beryl had worked all her life washing clothes and doing for others and now she had the reward of washing the clothes of the Master, her Beloved. Baba inspected the living quarters on the property during Friday afternoon. First He inspected the tents where the men were quartered, then He inspected the shed where the women were quartered and where all the meals were cooked. The cooking was done on small kerosine primuses, and to cook for so many on so few primuses, was a considerable feat in itself.
A story and a photograph of Meher Baba were published in the Sydney Daily Telegraph the next day. Then Meher Baba and the mandali departed from the airport in various cars for the house at Beacon Hill where they were to stay while they were in Sydney. Sydney Airport is about six miles south of Sydney Harbour and Beacon Hill is about twelve miles north of it. I had collected some of the party’s baggage at the airport and was now driving to Beacon Hill alone. I had first heard of Meher Baba about two years before this time and now I had seen Him, He had touched me, and very soon we would be together for a few days.
