This book is simply the most exalted translation of one of the finest products of the human mind. This edition makes it truly "the thinking person's Plotinus" as well: Endnotes compare MacKenna's original translation with hundreds of debatable revisions made by editors in editions published after his death, and show how other major translators (A H Armstrong, K S Guthrie, Thomas Taylor) handle these same passages. Bonus: a detailed appendix from Anthony Damiani's groundbreaking work with The Enneads.
