Ennead IV.3 [27]: Problems of the soul, I

Plotinus

The first part of an extensive study (IV.3–5). It discusses the relation between individual souls and the world soul, the descent of souls—compared to Dionysus' reflection in the mirror—, the presence of the soul in the body, memory and the soul's place after death.
