Travels with Plotinus

In Travels with Plotinus, Moin Mir follows Plotinuss 1,780-year-old journey of personal discovery across India, Egypt, Italy, Greece and Turkey as he tries to understand the core concept of Plotinian thought, derived from studying the Upanishads Unity and Oneness. He uses Plotinuss philosophy to observe how the free will of intellect uses Unity for good and evil. Intimate conversations with refugees escaping war, innocent boatmen drifting down the Nile, simple farmers and monks in Greece along with observations of ancient art and modern technological accomplishments inform his thoughts and writing on the concept of the oneness of humankind its immense power to bring good and yet its vulnerability to the stealth of intellect to destroy and self-destruct.
