Write 5 pages double spaced . No secondary sources; citing quotes from the relevant text(s) is encouraged. “Analyze” in the prompts means BOTH: (1) Exegesis, show me you know what the philosopher’s argument is, show me you understand; and (2) Argue, take a position, make a critique or agree, but either way show me you are thinking deeply about the issues involved. Prompt: Analyze Plotinus’ understanding of the One. (Hint: You may want to reference Plato’s Parmenides. Also: What can we say about the One? Why is the One considered to be the First Principle by Plotinus? How do we relate to it? Can we know it? If not, what CAN we do regarding it?)
