The Philosophy of Plotinus, Vol. 1 of 2: The Gifford Lectures at St. Andrews 1917-1918
Excerpt from The Philosophy of Plotinus, Vol. 1 of 2: The Gifford Lectures at St. Andrews 1917-1918
This kind of philosophy may not be in fashion just now but when we see what havoc popular subjectivism has made of religious phil osophy, and how it has encouraged a recrudescence of superstition, we may be glad to return to Plato and his successors. For them, mysticism involves and rests upon metaphysics.
