In this heady video, hear a good deal of analysis of the first of Plotinus's Enneads, and learn about the three hypostases, his anti-Gnosticism, and how Porphyry preserved his mentor's biographical details. What is a "Proficient?" Plus, watch me thumb through the greatest children's book of all-time, "A Story of Mankind," by Van Loon -- and as usual, see some clips from the back-yard and neighborhood walks.
