English tr. of Kalligas’ Commentary on Plotinus




The first volume of an English translation of the commentaries of Paul Kalligas on Plotinus' Enneads has appeared, published by Princeton UP. Kalligas has been a respected voice in Plotinus Studies for years, but his Hellenophone commentaries remain relatively unknown to scholars that does not read modern Greek. This book, which addresses Enneads I-III (and Porphyry's Life of Plotinus) promises to be a must-have for readers of Plotinus, offering insight both on the substance of his philosophy as well as his Greek text in our modern editions.
