It is a philosophical work that explores the ideas and teachings of the ancient Greek philosopher Plotinus. The book is based on a series of lectures that Inge delivered at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland in 1917 and 1918, as part of the prestigious Gifford Lectures series. Inge provides a comprehensive analysis of Plotinus' philosophy, which is centered around the concept of the One, a transcendent and ineffable entity that is the source of all existence.
