Plotinus (Greek: Πλωτῖνος) (ca. CE 204/5–270) was a major philosopher of the ancient world. In his system of theory there are the three principles: the One, the Intellect, and the Soul. His teacher was Ammonius Saccas and he is of the Platonic tradition. Historians of the 19th century invented the term Neoplatonism[citation needed] and applied it to him and his philosophy which was influential in Late Antiquity. Much of the biographical information about Plotinus comes from Porphyry's preface to his edition of Plotinus' Enneads. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Plotinus">Read more on Last.fm</a>

Plotino (in greco antico: Πλωτῖνος, Plōtînos; Licopoli, 203/205 – Campania, 270) è stato un filosofo greco antico.È considerato uno dei più importanti filosofi dell'antichità, erede di Platone e padre del neoplatonismo, a volte identificato in toto col suo pensiero. Le informazioni biografiche su di lui provengono per la maggior parte dalla Vita di Plotino, composta da Porfirio come prefazione alle Enneadi, gli unici scritti di Plotino, che hanno ispirato per secoli teologi, mistici e metafisici pagani, cristiani, ebrei, musulmani e gnostici.
