Sections in this chapter10
- Plotinus, Enneads I.6 and V.1–2, in Kenneth Sylvan Guthrie's translation, for beauty, the three principles, and procession. Guthrie's headings and explanatory additions should be distinguished from Plotinus's text.
- Plotinus, Enneads VI.9, sections 1–6 and 11, for the argument about unity and the account of union. The same volume includes Porphyry's Life of Plotinus, especially sections 24–26 on the arrangement of the treatises.
- Plotinus, Enneads I.8 and II.9, read together, for the difficult relation between matter as deprivation and the beauty of the cosmos.
