| Abstract
|
:
|
"Culture and Philosophy in the Age of Plotinus presents a survey of the teachings of, and relations between, four leading figures in third-century A.D. Neoplatonism: Longinus, Plotinus, Porphyry and Iamblichus. The book documents and explains the coalescence of Aristotelian and Platonic elements in the Platonic tradition before the third century, considers the effect of the new political environment on these thinkers, and argues that the antagonistic interests of the two older men (Longinus and Plotinus) were combined in the work of the two younger figures (Porphyry and Iamblichus) without sacrifice of coherence, rationality or fidelity to Plato."--BOOK JACKET.
