Plotinus

Definition

Plotinus (c. 204-270) was a Platonic philosopher born in Lycopolis, Egypt. Although the story of his life was written down by his student Porphyry, few biographical details are included because Plotinus rejected the physical world of appearances in favor of the realm of the mind, considereding trivialites such as birth date, family, and ancestry unworthy of mention.
