Plotinus Ennead I.5: On Whether Well-Being Increases with Time

Translation with an Introduction and Commentary

Beschreibung

In Ennead I.5, Plotinus responds to popular theories on human flourishing, and insists emphatically that well-being belongs to the present moment. Layne analyzes Plotinus' unique conception of the present moment by highlighting his dialogue with Aristotle and Hellenistic conceptions of the soul, pleasure and pain, time and eternity, etc.
