    Unas son las virtudes del político y otras las de quien se eleva mediante la contemplación, que, por esto, es llamado contemplativo. Unas son las de quien ya es un perfecto contemplativo y vive contemplando, y otras las del Intelecto puro separado del Alma. Las del político consisten en la moderación de las pasiones, es…

    XXI. RESULTS OF LONGINUS S CRITICISM AND VINDICATION OF PLOTINOS’S ORIGINALITY.

    XX. OPINION OF LONGINUS, THE GREAT CRITIC, ABOUT PLOTINOS. I have made this rather long quotation only to show what was thought of Plotinos by the greatest critic of our days, the man who had examined all the works of his time. At first Longinus had scorned Plotinos, be cause he had relied on the…
