Three errors in particular have in the past \r\nprevented a proper appreciation of Plotinus' place in the history of philosophy. When this false trail was at length abandoned the fashion for orientalizing \r\nexplanations persisted in another guise: to the earliest historians of Neo- \r\nplatonism, Simon and Vacherot, the school of Plotinus was (in defiance of \r\ngeographical facts) 'the school of Alexandria,' and its inspiration was mainly \r\nEgyptian. Vacherot says of Neoplatonism that it is 'essentially and radically \r\noriental, having nothing of Greek thought but its language and procedure.' \r\nFew would be found to-day to subscribe to so sweeping a pronouncement; but \r\nthe existence of an important oriental element in Plotinus' thought is still \r\naffirmed by many French and German writers.
