The Enneads

Book • 1991
The Enneads are a comprehensive set of philosophical treatises written by Plotinus and edited by his student Porphyry.

The work is divided into six groups of nine treatises each, hence the name 'Enneads'.

It covers a wide range of subjects including human ethics, cosmological and physical reality, the nature of the soul, knowledge and intelligible reality, and the ultimate principles of being and the One. The arrangement of the treatises follows a pedagogical plan rather than chronological order, guiding the reader from practical to more abstract and metaphysical topics.
