The Plotinian Platonist Philosophy community is not about Plotinus!

It’s only about Plotinus to the extent that the philosophy that is practiced proceeds from a perspective that Plotinus is a precedence for.

What this means is that:

1. One does not need to have read the Enneads; or be concerned about Plotinus and his personal life.

2. One must be familiar with the claims made in the Enneads in matters of Metaphysics, Human Psychology & Ethics, and Morality & Beauty. Basically, one must be familiar with the why of Plotinus’ claims to the path to an enduring happiness.

3. One must verify the veracity of Plotinus’ claims for oneself; and find certitude about his perspective for oneself. This is because something is not true because Plotinus said so.

If one finds Plotinus’ Perspective to be veracious, then one may practice Philosophy as a way of life from within a Plotinian Platonist Perspective; if one did this one would be practicing Plotinian Platonist philosophy.

It’s recommended that individuals read the entry on Plato.Stanford by Lloyd Gerson on Plotinus if they want a more authoritative source to make reference to to be aware of Plotinus’ claims.

A post was made in this community to provide individuals with initiation for the practice of Plotinian Platonist philosophy.

Thus, Plotinian Platonist philosophy is not about regurgitating the claims of Plotinus. It’s about practicing philosophy as philosophy from a Metaphysical Perspective that finds precedence in Plotinus.

Please use this community to challenge and be critical of Plotinus’ claims. Use this community to work for the veracity of Plotinus’ claims.

If you are of Plotinian Platonist perspective, then please use this community to have philosophical discourse. Present your concerns and request them to be addressed. Or, present your concerns and how you went about finding resolution to them; and make a request for critical discourse about all that you have talked about and said.
