Central to lamblichus’ philosophy is his doctrine o f the soul. The hum an soul strad­ dles two worlds (the realms o f the Intelligible and o f Nature) and can operate in both. H um an souls descend to live a life on earth, but their real hom e is in the Intelligible W orld o f the Forms. Through the help o f the interm ediary divinities, hum an souls re­ ascend to the Intelligible and regain their proper abode. The hum an soul is the central character in this dram a, and its purification through philosophy and ritual is central to its eventual ascent.As in other areas, lamblichus’ philosophy o f the soul had a large im pact on later Neoplatonists. We are lucky enough to have large sections o f his de Anima, preserved by John Stobaeus. His de Mysteriis and fragments from his Platonic com m entaries also shed light on Iamblichean psychology, but the m ost im portant fragments are preserved by the author o f the com m entary to A ristotle’s de Anima, who may or may not be Simplicius,2 and by Priscianus o f Lydia. We will consider all o f these sources as we examine lamblichus’ unique doctrine of the soul. [p. 280]

Most Neoplatonists were convinced that the perceptual activity of the senses is a con­ scious activity, including even the reception of primary sense-qualities such as colours and sounds. This means that we cannot perceive anything unless we are aware of the specific impact exerted by the sense-object upon the sense-organ. The commentators can also rely on the doctrine found in Aristotles Physics 7.2, according to which what is distinctive of perceptual alterations is that the subject is aware of them.1 The problem with that discussion was that it did not explain why some alterations rather than others involve awareness. Why are we supposed to think that sense-perception implies aware­ ness whereas other forms of qualitative change do not? For this reason, the discussion seemed to leave mysterious the possession by the sense-organs of the capacity to perceive. Moreover, an important part of the awareness involved in sense-perception is that we are aware not only of the specific impact, but also of the perceptual activity of our sensory power. The root of the problem is exposed in Aristotle’s de Anima. In 3.2, Aristotle insists that we do perceive that we perceive. He seems to take it for granted that our perceptual system is capable of grasping its own operations. [p. 323]

The Routledge Handbook of Neoplatonism is an authoritative and comprehensive survey of the most important issues and developments in one of the fastest growing areas of research in ancient philosophy. An international team of scholars situates and re-evaluates Neoplatonism within the history of ancient philosophy and thought, and explores its influence on philosophical and religious schools worldwide. Over thirty chapters are divided into seven clear parts: (Re)sources, instruction and interaction Methods and Styles of Exegesis Metaphysics and Metaphysical Perspectives Language, Knowledge, Soul, and Self Nature: Physics, Medicine and Biology Ethics, Political Theory and Aesthetics The legacy of Neoplatonism. The Routledge Handbook of Neoplatonism is a major reference source for all students and scholars in Neoplatonism and ancient philosophy, as well as researchers in the philosophy of science, ethics, aesthetics and religion.

Most Neoplatonists were convinced that the perceptual activity of the senses is a con­
scious activity, including even the reception of primary sense-qualities such as colours 
and sounds. This means that we cannot perceive anything unless we are aware of the 
specific impact exerted by the sense-object  upon  the sense-organ. The commentators 
can also rely on the doctrine found in Aristotles Physics 7.2, according to which what 
is distinctive of perceptual alterations is that the subject is aware of them.1 The problem 
with that discussion was that it did not explain why some alterations rather than others 
involve awareness. Why are we supposed to think that sense-perception implies aware­
ness whereas other forms of qualitative change do not? For this reason, the discussion 
seemed to leave mysterious the possession by the sense-organs of the capacity to perceive. 
Moreover, an important part of the awareness involved in sense-perception is that we are 
aware not only of the specific impact, but also of the perceptual activity of our sensory 
power. The root of the problem is exposed in Aristotle’s de Anima. In 3.2, Aristotle insists 
that we do perceive that we perceive. He seems to take it for granted that our perceptual 
system is capable of grasping its own operations. [p. 323]

The Routledge Handbook of Neoplatonism is an authoritative and comprehensive survey of the most important issues and developments in one of the fastest growing areas of research in ancient philosophy. An international team of scholars situates and re-evaluates Neoplatonism within the history of ancient philosophy and thought, and explores its influence on philosophical and religious schools worldwide. Over thirty chapters are divided into seven clear parts:

    (Re)sources, instruction and interaction
    Methods and Styles of Exegesis
    Metaphysics and Metaphysical Perspectives
    Language, Knowledge, Soul, and Self
    Nature: Physics, Medicine and Biology
    Ethics, Political Theory and Aesthetics
    The legacy of Neoplatonism.

The Routledge Handbook of Neoplatonism is a major reference source for all students and scholars in Neoplatonism and ancient philosophy, as well as researchers in the philosophy of science, ethics, aesthetics and religion. [author's abstract]
