The issues and themes discussed in this volume have a pertinence that transcends the special cultural climate of opinion in which they first emerged. Neoplatonism is a rich movement that has affected philosophical thinking over the centuries down to our own times and has ramifications that reach beyond the discourse of dialectic and ontology. As a movement, its influence can be seen in art, religion, ethics, and literature. The essays collected in this volume underscore the cultural and philosophical place of Neoplatonism in the development of human ideas and values.
