    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Throughout its first three centuries, the growing Christian religion was subjected not only to official persecution but to the attacks of pagan intellectuals, who looked upon the new sect as a band of fanatics bent on worldwide domination even as they professed to despise the things of this world. Prominent among these pagan critics was Porphyry of Tyre (ca. 232-ca. 305 C.E.), scholar, philosopher, and student of religions. His book Against the Christians (Kata Christianon), condemned to be burned by the imperial Church in 448, survives only in fragments preserved by the cleric and teacher Macarius Magnes. This new translation of the remains of Against the Christians, by renowned biblical scholar R. Joseph Hoffmann, reveals a work of deft historical and literary criticism. Porphyry&#039;s trenchant comments extend to key figures, beliefs, and doctrines of Christianity as he roundly attacks the divinity of Jesus, the integrity of the apostles, the Christian concept of God, and the Resurrection. Porphyry dismisses the gospels as the work of charlatans and Jesus himself as a criminal and failure. In short, the gospels, as a collective account of the life and deeds of Jesus, are hardly worth the reverence with which an increasing number of Christian converts of Porphyry&#039;s own day have begun treating them.<br />
Critical notes by the translator provide a running commentary to the text. A lively introduction and comprehensive epilogue describe the &quot;buildup&quot; to the pagan critique of Christianity, and help put Porphyry&#039;s work in historical perspective. Accessible to the general reader as well as a valuable scholarly tool, this new translation of Against the Christians proves a worthy addition to both classical and patristic studies.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Plotinus on the Soul: A Study in the Metaphysics of Knowledge  ]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:subject><![CDATA[Plotinus<br />
Soul]]></dcterms:subject>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[&quot;The author offers a study on the scientific knowledge of sensible reality in the Enneads. In so doing, she presents a radical new perspective on the philosophy of Plotinus and engages in an intense, detailed, and critical re-reading of Plotinus and his commentators. This effect is witnessed in her choice of texts, from the early and very famous treatise &quot;The Three Initial Hypostases&quot; (V, 1[10]) to her very singular use and analysis of the late treatise &quot;On Love&quot; (III, 5[50]). Of interest to scholars in Plotinian studies, this book has yet a larger audience as the author investigates the full range of Plotinian epistemology from the originative production of the One, that is the Intellect, to the last declension of true being that is Nature, the lower part of world Soul. The style is fluid and appeals to scholars of ancient philosophy as well as more contemporary discussions in the field of metaphysics and epistemology.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[&quot;Iamblichus (245-325), successor to Plotinus and Porphyry, brought a new religiosity to Neoplatonism. His theory of the soul is at the heart of his philosophical system. For Iamblichus, the human soul is so far inferior to the divine that its salvation depends not on philosophy alone (as it did for Plotinus) but on the aid of the gods and other divinities.&quot; &quot;This edition of the fragments of Iamblichus&#039; major work on the soul, De Anima, is accompanied by the first English translation of the work and a commentary which explains the philosophical background and Iamblichus&#039; doctrine of the soul. Included as well are excerpts from the Pseudo-Simplicius and Priscianus (also translated with commentary) that shed further light on Iamblichus&#039; treatise.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[As the most important philosophical work to emerge in the 700-year period between Aristotle and Augustine, The Enneads has been subject to intense scrutiny for more than 2000 years.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[&quot;The work of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite stands at a cusp in the history of thought: it is at once Hellenic and Christian, classical and medieval, philosophical thought and theological. Unlike the predominantly theological or text-historical studies which constitute much of the scholarly literature on Dionysius within the tradition of ancient Greek philosophy in nature, placing Dionysius within the tradition of ancient Greek philosophy and emphasizing, in a positive light, his continuity with the non-Christian Neoplatonism of Plotinus and Proclus. Eric D. Perl offers clear expositions of the reasoning that underlies Neoplatonic doctrines. He includes extensive accounts of fundamental ideas in Plotinus and Proclus, as well as Dionysius himself, and provides an excellent philosophical defense of Neoplatonism in general.&quot; --Publisher.]]></dcterms:description>
