Plotinus

The founder of Neo-Platonism was the famous Roman philosophers. His biography only uses a few publications written by his followers as its primary sources. Among them are books like Enneads and The Life of Plotinus. Unfortunately, there is no information known about his life, yet the materials that are still in existence claim that he was friends with Porphyry for six years. As a result, he has been largely ignorant of history.

Plotinus was a committed educator who later in life frequently turned to literature for solace. His congregation was exactly like the traditional education that was in use at the time. It was customary for him to engage in actions like expressing personal opinions about the concepts put forward by earlier philosophers. In a similar manner, he entertained questions and discussions on numerous subjects and explored them until he offered a firm response.

He believed in magic and the prophecies of the constellations, just like the majority of philosophers of late antiquity. His final advice was to aspire to become inherently Divine, which is consistent with his interest in the occult.
