Plotinus' Mystical Teaching of Henosis: An Interpretation in the Light of the Metaphysics of the One

By Pao-Shen Ho

This book presents a philosophical interpretation of Plotinus' mysticism in light of his metaphysics. For Plotinus, the ineffable One is immanent in man, such that henosis always already pertains to his original condition. So the point of Plotinus' mystical teaching is not to change man's nature, but to dispel his misconceptions about henosis.
