Crouzel (OP:481-484) – providência [pronoia]
La providence, c’est-à-dire ici l’Âme du Monde, est à l’origine du mouvement circulaire du ciel1. Il est impie de dire avec les gnostiques qu’elle ne pénètre pas dans le monde d’ici-bas, ni dans n’importe quel monde, mais qu’elle s’occupe seulement d’eux, les gnostiques. Le monde sensible a quelque chose de celui d’en haut et n’est…

Bouillet: Tratado 48 (III, 3) – DE LA PROVIDENCE II
(I-II) La Raison de l’univers contient en soi toutes les raisons séminales particulières; chacune de celles-ci contient à son tour toutes les actions qu’elle doit produire: car toute raison renferme la pluralité dans l’unité. L’harmonie des raisons particulières dans leur développement constitue l’unité du plan de l’univers. Tout ce qui arrive ici-bas découle directement ou…

MacKenna: Tratado 48,7 (III,3,7) — Abolir o inferior seria eliminar as realidades superiores
7. And since the higher exists, there must be the lower as well. The Universe is a thing of variety, and how could there be an inferior without a superior or a superior without an inferior? We cannot complain about the lower in the higher; rather, we must be grateful to the higher for giving…

MacKenna: Tratado 48,6 (III,3,6) — A arte dos adivinhos
6. But, if all this be true, how can evil fall within the scope of seership? The predictions of the seers are based on observation of the Universal Circuit: how can this indicate the evil with the good? Clearly the reason is that all contraries coalesce. Take, for example, Shape and Matter: the living being…

MacKenna: Tratado 48,5 (III,3,5) — O estatuto da providência
5. There is, then a Providence, which permeates the Kosmos from first to last, not everywhere equal, as in a numerical distribution, but proportioned, differing, according to the grades of place – just as in some one animal, linked from first to last, each member has its own function, the nobler organ the higher activity…

MacKenna: Tratado 48,4 (III,3,4) — O estatuto do homem
4. If man were all of one piece – I mean, if he were nothing more than a made thing, acting and acted upon according to a fixed nature – he could be no more subject to reproach and punishment than the mere animals. But as the scheme holds, man is singled out for condemnation…

MacKenna: Tratado 48,3 (III,3,3) — Não se deve culpar nem o produtor nem o produto
3. For, even though the I is sovereign in choosing, yet by the fact of the choice the thing done takes its place in the ordered total. Your personality does not come from outside into the universal scheme; you are a part of it, you and your personal disposition. But what is the cause of…

MacKenna: Tratado 48,2 (III,3,2) — Tudo pertence a uma só e mesma ordem universal
2. Circumstances are not sovereign over the good of life, for they are themselves moulded by their priors and come in as members of a sequence. The Leading-Principle holds all the threads while the minor agents, the individuals, serve according to their own capacities, as in a war the generalissimo lays down the plan and…

MacKenna: Tratado 48,1 (III,3,1) — As razões são o ato de uma alma total
1. What is our answer? All events and things, good and evil alike, are included under the Universal Reason-Principle of which they are parts – strictly “included” for this Universal Idea does not engender them but encompasses them. The Reason-Principles are acts or expressions of a Universal Soul; its parts [i.e., events good and evil]…

Enéada III, 3, 7 — Abolir o inferior seria eliminar as realidades superiores
7-Las cosas peores existen precisamente porque existen también cosas mejores. ¿Pues cómo podría existir lo peor sin lo mejor, o lo mejor sin lo peor, en una obra tan variada? De modo que no debe acusarse a lo peor de encontrarse en lo mejor, sino que más bien debe agradecerse que lo mejor haya dado…
