Plotinus

<p><em>Plotinus: A Visionary Recital</em> is a reconstruction of the life of Plotinus based on a close study of the <em>Enneads</em>. “Our time” wrote Kathleen Raine “presents us with problems closely parallel to the times of Plotinus who was something far other and far more than a philosopher in the diminished modern sense of the term. He was a true ‘lover of wisdom’—of the spiritual knowledge that has been virtually forgotten in the secular world of the modern West.”</p><p>Mary Casey’s book is a vivid evocation of the Mediterranean world of the third century mediated through a finely-tempered prose that reflects a unique personal vision. It is an inner journey through the mind of a poet to the heart of timeless truth.</p>
