{"product_id":"plato-and-plotinus-on-mysticism-david-j-yount-9781350082182","title":"Plato and Plotinus on Mysticism, Epistemology, and Ethics","description":"This book argues against the common view that there are no essential differences between Plato and the Neoplatonist philosopher, Plotinus, on the issues of mysticism, epistemology, and ethics. Beginning by examining the ways in which Plato and Plotinus claim that it is possible to have an ultimate experience that answers the most significant philosophical questions, David J. Yount provides an extended analysis of why we should interpret both philosophers as mystics. The book then moves on to demonstrate that both philosophers share a belief in non-discursive knowledge and the methods to attain it, including dialectic and recollection, and shows that they do not essentially differ on any significant views on ethics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaking extensive use of primary and secondary sources, \u003ci\u003ePlato and Plotinus on Mysticism, Epistemology and Ethics\u003c\/i\u003e shows the similarities between the thought of these two philosophers on a variety of philosophical questions, such as meditation, divination, wisdom, knowledge, truth, happiness and love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David J.
