Participation in the Divine
The concept of participation in a transcendent domain of existence is central to the Platonic and the Judaeo-Christian traditions. It is how thinkers throughout history have justified existence itself, explaining temporal being vis-à-vis God. Yet in the wake of secularisation and the widespread phenomenon of disenchantment, this once ubiquitous and coveted notion has fallen into desuetude. The essays in this volume analyse and explore this key co…

Causation and Creation in Late Antiquity
Written by a group of leading scholars, this unique collection of essays investigates the views of both pagan and Christian philosophers on causation and the creation of the cosmos. Structured in two parts, the volume first looks at divine agency and how late antique thinkers, including the Stoics, Plotinus, Porphyry, Simplicius, Philoponus and Gregory of Nyssa, tackled questions such as: is the cosmos eternal? Did it come from nothing or from so…
Collaborative thinking
More collaborative work in the humanities could be instrumental in helping to break down the traditional rigid boundaries between academic divisions and disciplines in modern universities. The value of the traditional model of the solitary humanities scholar or the collaborative science paradigm should not be discounted. However, increasing the use of collaborative and interdisciplinary research models in the humanities would promote new forms of…
Reading Ancient Texts. Volume I: Presocratics and Plato
What is the history of philosophy? Is it history or is it philosophy or is it by some strange alchemy a confluence of the two? The contributors to the present volume of essays have tackled this seemingly simple, but in reality difficult and controversial, question, by drawing on their specialised knowledge of the surviving texts of leading ancient philosophers, from the Presocratics to Augustine, through Plato, Aristotle and Plotinus. These contr…

Platonisms
The present volume argues that Plato and Platonism should be understood not as a series of determinate doctrines or philosophical facts to be pinned down once and for all, but rather as an inexhaustible mine of possible trajectories. The book examines in this light different strands of Platonic thinking from the dialogues themselves through later Antiquity and the Medieval World into Modernity and Post-Modernity with new essays ranging from Desca…

La connaissance de soi
Le 49e traité des Ennéades reprend le précepte delphique « connais-toi toi-même », mais d’une manière surprenante pour des lecteurs modernes. Le « soi-même » dont il est question n’est pas en effet le moi empirique, considéré dans sa singularité et son histoire personnelle et sociale. Ce n’est pas un moi donné à une introspection, un examen de conscience, ou à des techniques d’analyse, c’est un « soi » à constituer par identification progressive …

Essence and existence in the Enneads
An explicit distinction between essence and existence is first attributed to the Arabic philosophers Al Farabi (c. 870-950) and Avicenna (c. 980-1037). The nature or essence of any finite being can be conceived separately from its existence that appears to be a perfection "superadded" or accidental to its nature. Pierre Hadot has traced the roots of this distinction even further back to Boethius, and later Neoplatonism, and in the latter case to …
The Cambridge Companion to Plotinus
Each volume of this series of companions to major philosophers contains specially commissioned essays by an international team of scholars, together with a substantial bibliography, and will serve as a reference work for students and non-specialists. One aim of the series is to dispel the intimidation such readers often feel when faced with the work of a difficult and challenging thinker. Plotinus was the greatest philosopher in the 700-year peri…

Is there more than one Generation of Matter in the Enneads
There has been some controversy, which has not yet been resolved, concerning the generation of the matter of the physical universe in the Enneads. In an early article O'Brien argued that the partial soul generates matter.'

A Philosophical Precursor to the Theory of Essence and Existence in St. Thomas Aquinas
A PHILOSOPHICAL PRECURSOR TO THE THEORY OF ESSENCE AND EXISTENCE IN ST. THOMAS AQUINAS IN THIS PAPER I wish to present an important precursor, hitherto unnoticed, to the theory of essence and existence in the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas. It comes from an ancient pagan context and throws considerable light upon the whole problem of whether the distinction between essence and existence is real or not. I have in mind a series of passages from the …
