Where it came from
Published in 1996 by Peeters as part of their Ancient and Medieval Philosophy series, this monograph by Kevin Corrigan represents a significant scholarly contribution to the study of Neoplatonism. The text originated from a desire to reconcile the seemingly contradictory perspectives Plotinus held regarding the nature of matter, specifically addressing the metaphysical difficulty of how evil can exist within a system that posits the One as the ultimate source of all reality.
Corrigan, a prominent scholar of Hellenistic and late antique philosophy, designed this work to navigate the complexities of Plotinian ontology by re-examining the concept of substance. By focusing on the tension between matter as a 'necessary' element of the cosmic structure and its association with privation and evil, the book provides a rigorous textual analysis intended for academic researchers, gaining respect in philosophical circles for its meticulous approach to reconciling Plotinus’ diverse treatises.
