I want to know the answer to the following question:
What sort of philosopher was Plotinus?
All the background I'm provided with is that "With the neoplatonist Plotinus, wrote Nathaniel Alfred Boll; "there even appears, probably for the first time in Western philosophy, idealism that had long been current in the East even at that time, for it taught... that the soul has made the world by stepping from eternity into time...".". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
