A succinct and concentrated analysis of key themes in Plotinus' psychology and ethics.
It focuses on the soul-body relation, discussing various Platonic, Aristotelian, and Stoic views before arguing that there is only a soul-trace in the body (forming with the body a compound), while the reasoning soul itself is impassive and flawless.
