9Plotinus Ennead V.5: That the Intelligibles Are Not External to the Intellect, and on the Good: Translation, with an Introduction, and Commentary (edited book)Parmenides Publishing. 2013.Platonists beginning in the Old Academy itself and up to and including Plotinus struggled to understand and articulate the relation between Plato’s Demiurge and the Living Animal which served as the model for creation.

7Plotinus Ennead Iv.8: On the Descent of the Soul Into Bodies: Translation, with an Introduction, and CommentaryParmenides Publishing. 2012.Plotinus was much exercised by Plato's doctrines of the soul.

10The philosopher and society in late antiquity: essays in honour of Peter Brown (edited book)Distributor in the U.S., David Brown Bk. Co.. 2005.The philosophers of Late Antiquity have sometimes appeared to be estranged from society. 'We must flee everything physical' is one of the most prominent ideas taken by Augustine from Platonic literature. This collection of new studies by leading writers on Late Antiquity treats both the principles of metaphysics and the practical engagement of philosophers. It points to a more substantive and complex involvement in worldly affairs than conventional handbooks admit.
