This book argues against the common view that there are no essential differences between
Plato and the Neoplatonist philosopher, Plotinus, on the issues of mysticism, epistemology,
and ethics. Beginning by examining the ways in which Plato and Plotinus claim that
it is possible to have an ultimate experience that answers the most significant philosophical
questions, David J. Yount provides an extended analysis of why we should interpret
both philosophers as mystics. The book then moves on to demonstrate that both philosophers
share a belief in non-discursive knowledge and the methods to attain it, including
dialectic and recollection, and shows that they do not essentially differ on any significant
views on ethics. Making extensive use of primary and secondary sources, it shows the
similarities between the thought of these two philosophers on a variety of philosophical
questions, such as meditation, divination, wisdom, knowledge, truth, happiness and
love
