ABSTRACT
The Routledge Handbook of Neoplatonism is an authoritative and comprehensive survey of the most important issues and developments in one of the fastest growing areas of research in ancient philosophy.

- Methods and Styles of Exegesis
- Metaphysics and Metaphysical Perspectives
- Language, Knowledge, Soul, and Self
- Nature: Physics, Medicine and Biology
- Ethics, Political Theory and Aesthetics
- The legacy of Neoplatonism.
The Routledge Handbook of Neoplatonism is a major reference source for all students and scholars in Neoplatonism and ancient philosophy, as well as researchers in the philosophy of science, ethics, aesthetics and religion.
