Faces of Being and Mirrors of Intellect
Book • 2024
In this study, Mateusz Stróżyński explores Plotinus' thought through the lens of contemplation, arguing that it is a central dimension of his philosophy.
The book delves into the contemplation of the intelligible world, including Nature, Soul, and Intellect, and discusses the soul's descent and return via the 'Great Kinds' derived from Plato's Sophist.
Stróżyński emphasizes the integration of conceptual and experiential aspects of metaphysics, highlighting the importance of both rational discourse and direct experience in Plotinus' philosophy.
