Reviews

'Hutchinson faces squarely the challenge that the single word 'consciousness' as it is used today is not adequate for translating the Plotinian tetrad of Concepts: antilepsis, parakolouthesis, sunaisthesis, and sunesis ... [It is a] book that ought to be recognized as an important contribution to the historical background of contemporary consciousness studies.' Lloyd P. Gerson, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 'Hutchinson faces squarely the challenge that the single word `consciousness' as it is used today is not adequate for translating the Plotinian tetrad of Concepts: antilepsis, parakolouthesis, sunaisthesis, and sunesis ...

Gerson, Bryn Mawr Classical Review '... the book is a valuable contribution to Plotinus scholarship and will be of interest to any student of ancient philosophy and of the history of the philosophy of consciousness.'
