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>

Plotinos (grekiska: Πλωτῖνος), född ca 204 i Egypten, död 270 i Campania, var en senantik filosof som brukar anses vara nyplatonismens mest framträdande gestalt. Han fick därmed ett avgörande inflytande på medeltidens religiösa tankevärld och skolastiken. Plotinos har kallats världshistoriens störste metafysiker. I motsats till sin föregångare Platon, framlägger inte Plotinos en samhälls- eller statslära, annan än att människan bör ställa sig över den materiella världen. Hans tankar kom även att inspirera tänkare inom bl.a. kristen, judisk och islamisk filosofi samt mysticism.
