Barrie Fleet is affiliated Lecturer and former Fellow and Director of Studies in Classics at Corpus Christi College, University of Cambridge. He is the author of Plotinus: Ennead III.6 On the Impassivity of the Bodiless (Oxford, 1995), Plotinus: Ennead IV.8 On the Descent of the Soul Into Bodies (Parmenides, 2012), and three volumes in the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series edited by Richard Sorabji (Cornell/Duckworth): Simplicius: On Aristotle Physics 2 (1997), Simplicius: On Aristotle Categories 5 & 6, with Frans de Haas (2001), and Simplicius: On Aristotle Categories 7 & 8 (2002).
"This volume contains the good translation and helpful commentary characteristic of the series, while the text tackled is one of the most accessible for those who have not previously studied Plotinus. The commentary takes special pains to treat the essay as a genuine work of philosophy and to set it against the earlier history of Greek (and especially Stoic) psychology. It would make an excellent final text for a course on post-Aristotelian philosophy." --Harold Tarrant, Professor Emeritus, School of Humanities and Social Science, University of Newcastle, Australia
