Our perspective is that of an ongoing discussions with his \"Gnostic\"--yet Platonizing--friends, which started early in his writings (at least treatise 6), developed into what we could call a \u003ci\u003eGro zyklus\u003c\/i\u003e (treatises 27 to 39), and went on in later treatises as well (e. g. 47-48, 51). The prospect of an ongoing discussion with the Gnostics bears an additional virtue, that of allowing for a truly dynamic understanding of the Plotinian corpus.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47969666400407,"sku":"9789004203266","price":15813.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789004203266.webp?v=1782923189","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/plotinus-in-dialogue-with-the-gnostics-9789004203266","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
