<br> Fleet has done a quite commendable job in translating Plotinus's very difficult Greek, and all Greek in his useful commentary is translated or transliterated. His commentary shows that Plotinus was primarily a Platonist who expounded Plato's doctrines some seven centuries later. In sum, this is not only one of the few English commentaries on any single treatise of Plotinus, but it is an informed and informative translation. --Religious Studies Review<br> [Fleet] provides a highly reliable guide through the obscurities of Plotinus' argument, ...a fine piece of scholarship. Anyone wishing to understand iii 6 will find it of great value. --Ancient Philosophy<br>

`a welcome addition to the increasing number of commentaries on individual treatises of Plotinus ... The translation on facing pages is accurate and fluid, and F. helpfully breaks it down into small paragraphs that represent more precisely the subtle shifts in Plotinus' presentation. F.'s is a sound work of scholarship that all Plotinian scholars will profitably consult. This is a well-written monograph on an important topic.' John Bussanich, University of New Mexico, The Classical Review, Vol. XLVI, Vol. 2, '96 `This is not only one of the few English commentaries on any single treatise of Plotinus, but it is an informed and informative translation.' Religious Studies Review, vol.23, no.1, January 1997 `The translation reads well and ... the commentary is generally excellent.' H.J. Blumenthal, Univ of Liverpool, Hermathena
