About the book

Description

In his reflections on beauty, Plotinus argues that visible harmony does not exhaust what makes an object beautiful. Beauty points beyond surfaces toward intelligible form and the soul’s capacity for recognition and transformation. The broader Enneads situates this account within Plotinus’ philosophy of Soul, Intellect and the One.
