Features: The era of Plotinus was one of the most tragic in history. During this period, most people lowered their heads and entrusted their fate to the gods, while only a few ignited the flame of humanity in the darkness, claiming that the ultimate destination of human life lies within humans themselves. Plotinus was one of them. Many scholars have debated Plotinus's thoughts on evil, and this book attempts to reveal the fundamental essence of Plotinus by providing detailed annotations to Chapter 8 of his treatise Enneads, which is dedicated to the discussion of evil.
