In this seminar we will be engaging in a close reading and discussion of
a selection of key texts in which Plotinus addresses problems
surrounding his understanding of the soul. Some of the chief issues
here concern how the soul interacts with the body, his theory of
affections and emotions, his theory of sensation, the vegetative soul,
and the relation of individual souls to the World Soul. No knowledge of
Greek is required. We will be reading all texts in English
translation, but occasionally the Greek text will be discussed.
