In Travels with Plotinus, Moin Mir follows Plotinus’s 1,780-year-old journey of personal discovery across India, Egypt, Italy, Greece and Turkey as he tries to understand the core concept of Plotinian thought, derived from studying the Upanishads – ‘Unity and Oneness’.
He uses Plotinus’s philosophy to observe how the free will of intellect uses ‘Unity’ for good and evil. Intimate conversations with refugees escaping war, innocent boatmen drifting down the Nile, simple farmers and monks in Greece along with observations of ancient art and modern technological accomplishments inform his thoughts and writing on the concept of the oneness of humankind – its immense power to bring good and yet its vulnerability to the stealth of intellect to destroy and self-destruct.

Moin Mir is a British-Indian writer of non-fiction and fiction, based in London. His first non-fiction book The Prince Who Beat The Empire was published in 2018. His novel The Lost Fragrance of Infinity featured in Times of India’s top five reads of 2021 and William Dalrymple described Mir as ‘…a prodigious talent, the new Amin Maalouf’.
