Manly P. Hall: Neoplatonism Seminar 3 - Plotinus on the Beautiful

This is the third of a five-part seminar series on "Doctrines of Neoplatonism". Part 3 was recorded in Los Angeles on Wednesday, October 26, 1955.
Manly Hall considered Neoplatonism (~3rd to 7th century C.E.) to be one of the most important philosophical systems that a seeker of wisdom could study. Beginning with Plotinus, this movement brought back the spirit of pre-Socratic thought as well as that of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. Consciousness was considered as primary and existing before matter - that the thought world proceeded the material realm, and therefore, more important for each of us to explore and experience.

Hi, many thanks for this treasure. The picture however is a bust of Plato not Plotinus.

[@ManlyHallSociety]

Correct. Initially I wanted different images for each of the lectures in the NeoPlatonism series, but settled on Plato for all of them.
