These years witnessed the revivals of Aristotelianism, Epicureanism, Pyrrhonism, Cynicism, and Pythagoreanism; but by far the most important movement was the revival of Platonism under Plotinus. Here, the historical context of Plotinus is provided including the currents of thought that preceded him and opened the path for him. The presuppositions of the Enneads are made explicit and the thought of Plotinus is reconstructed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author reorients the expositions of Middle Platonism and neo-Pythagoreanism. He provides a full exposition of Hermeticism and the doctrines of the Chaldean Oracles. He also defends the notion that Philo of Alexandria nourished a Jewish philosophy, not an eclectic mixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giovanni Reale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791401294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791401293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/21\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.20d","brand":"Giovanni Reale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065122599167,"sku":"9780791401293","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b7d3537a-50bd-40b2-9f42-1ed7d3b32130.jpg?v=1768673139","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-history-of-ancient-philosophy-giovanni-reale-9780791401293","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
