Aristotle's\u003ci\u003e Categories\u003c\/i\u003e has been attacked by Plotinus, but Porphyry's defence proved decisive, so that the \u003ci\u003eCategories\u003c\/i\u003e was acceptable as compatible with Platonism and an essential introduction to the Neoplatonist curriculum. \u003cbr\u003ePorphyry's main commentary on the \u003ci\u003eCategories\u003c\/i\u003e, however, containing the vital defence, is lost, as is that of his pupil lamblichus. The ideas of these two principal Neoplatonists can be reconstructed, in part, from Dexippus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781780933719\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40595564101838,"sku":"9781780933719","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_1c280a57-2b02-44b5-a2bd-bfa25cca78f2.jpg?v=1637834986","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781780933719","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
