This assignment has three parts: A. Explain the Plotinean view of reality as we discussed it in class. Use your own words, without quotations from the book. B. Explain in your own words (line by line and including all key concepts) the following passages: 1. p. 42 Beginning “What, then, is this inner vision?” and ending p. 43, “Strain and see.” 2. p. 66 Beginning “But there comes a point” and ending p. 66 “its shackles are loosed and it soars.” C. Offer a critical, thoughtful view of Plotinus’ path to redemption (the soul’s return to unity). Given the option, what would you rather be: a Stoic or a Plotinean? Explain why.
