On Gnostic Hypostases And That Which Is Beyond Them (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425306540)

On Gnostic Hypostases And That Which Is Beyond Them is a philosophical treatise written by Plotinus, a prominent philosopher of the ancient world. The book delves into the nature of reality and the concept of hypostases, which are essentially different levels of being or existence. Plotinus explores the idea of the Gnostic hypostases, which are a set of divine beings that were believed to exist in some Gnostic traditions. He examines the nature of these hypostases and their relationship to the ultimate reality that exists beyond them. The book is a fascinating exploration of ancient philosophy and metaphysics, and offers insights into the ways in which ancient thinkers grappled with questions of existence and the divine. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, theology, or the history of ideas.THIS 38 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Select Works of Plotinus, by Plotinus .
