Enneades - Enneades (English spelling)
The title given to a collection of essays by Plotinus, a leading Neoplatonist philosopher. Compiled by his student Porphyry, the collection contains 54 essays in total, with nine essays (enneas) per volume for each theme, and six volumes in total. Published around 301. It is virtually the only book that conveys Plotinus's ideas on ethics, physics, theology of the soul, wisdom, and ontology. For information on the circumstances of its writing and compilation, see Porphyry's Life of Plotinus. The original text is in Greek, but the first Latin translation was made by Victorinus in the 4th century.
