Travels with Plotinus : A Journey in Search of Unity

In this philosophical travelogue, Moin Mir retraces Plotinus's 1,780-year-old journey of personal discovery across India, Egypt, Italy, Greece and Turkey, exploring the core concept of Plotinian thought derived from the Upanishads: 'Unity and Oneness'.

Through intimate conversations with refugees escaping war, boatmen drifting down the Nile, farmers and monks in Greece, Mir uses Plotinus's philosophy to observe how the free will of intellect harnesses 'Unity' for both good and evil.

Combining encounters with everyday people, observations of ancient art, and reflections on modern technological achievements, this is a thoughtful meditation on the concept of the oneness of humankind – its immense power to bring good, and yet its vulnerability to the destructive potential of the intellect.
