Plotinus IV 7 (2) On the Immortality of the Soul
Studies on the Text and its Contexts
The Enneadic treatise IV 7 (2) constitutes Plotinus' first attempt to reflect systematically on the problem of the immortality of the soul. It is a complex text, in which the exposition of the Plotinian doctrine is preceded by a long doxographic excursus dedicated to the refutation of the ideas of some ancient philosophical schools (Aristotelian, Epicurean, Stoic, Pythagorean). The problems posed by the treatise are addressed in this volume from an interdisciplinary perspective: historians of ancient thought and of Neoplatonism, historians of religions, historians of late antique culture, classical philologists meet in these pages to address, from very different points of view, one of the most stimulating texts left to us by Plotinus. With contributions by Andrea Araf, Lorenzo Ferroni, Luca Gili, Claudia Lo Casto, Alexandra Michalewski, Mauricio Pagotto Marsola, Gheorghe Pascalau, Eleni Perdikouri, Federico Maria Petrucci, Giulia Sfameni Gasparro, Daniela P. Taormina, Chiara Ombretta Tommasi and Francesco Verde.
