    OF THE CONCEPTION OF MATTER. VIDE Eneada-II-4 While separating ourselves from existence we by thought beget nonentity (matter). While remaining united with existence, we also conceive of nonentity (the one). Consequently, when we separate ourselves from existence, we do not conceive of the nonentity which is above existence (the one), but we beget by thought…

    Unas son las virtudes del político y otras las de quien se eleva mediante la contemplación, que, por esto, es llamado contemplativo.

    INTELLIGENCE KNOWS ITSELF BY A CONVERSION TO HERSELF. VIDE Eneada-V-III 31. (1) When one being subsists by dependence on any other, and not by self-dependence and withdrawal from any other, it could not turn itself towards itself to know itself by separating from (the substrate) by which it subsists. By withdrawing from its own existence…

    It is not only about the faculties that the ancient philosophers disagree. . . . They are besides in radical disagreement about the following questions: What are the parts of the soul; what is a part; what is a faculty; what difference is there between a part and a faculty ? The Stoics divide the…

A alma opera de acordo com essas razões, quer seja incitada à atividade por algum objeto exterior, quer a alma se volte para essas razões, dobrando-se sobre si mesma. Quando a alma é incitada a essa atividade por algum objeto…

    Traduções de comentários relativos às Enéadas. THEORY OF INTELLIGIBLES IN THE EDITIONS OF BOUILLET, CREUZER, AND HOLSTENIUS The order of Bouillet has been left, because the other orders differ anyway, and because this is the one that Porphyry introduced into the works of Plotinos. It must, therefore, have been of most significance to him.

    OF THE PROCESSION OF BEINGS. VIDE Eneada-V-II 26. When incorporeal hypostatic substances descend, they split up and multiply, their power weakening as they apply themselves to the individual. When, on the contrary, they rise, they simplify, unite, and their power intensifies. 27. In the life of incorporeal entities, the procession operates in a manner such…

    OF THE INCORPOREAL. (3) VIDE Eneada-III-6 5. The name “incorporeal” does not designate one and the same genus, as does the word “body.” Incorporeal entities derive their name from the fact that they are conceived of by abstraction from the body. Consequently, some of them (like intelligence and discursive reason) are genuine beings, existing as…

  • Porfírio (Fragmentos) – Of the difference of the parts. And of the faculties of the soul.

    in

    We shall now explain the difference obtaining between a part and a faculty of the soul. One part differs from another by the characteristics of its genus (or, kind); while different faculties may relate to a common genus. That is why Aristotle did not allow that the soul contained parts, though granting that it contained…

    XXIII. PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PLOTINOS; THE ECSTATIC TRANCES. This oracle (pieced out of numerous quotations) says (in some now lost lines, perhaps) that Plotinos was kindly, affable, indulgent, gentle, such as, indeed we knew him in personal intercourse. It also mentions that this philosopher slept little, that his soul was pure, ever aspiring to the…

    Numenius, who teaches that the faculty of assent (or, combining faculty) is capable of producing various operations, says that representation (fancy) is an accessory of this faculty, that it does not, however, constitute either an operation or function of it, but a consequence of it. The Stoics, on the contrary, not only make sensation consist…

    OF THE SEPARATION OF THE SOUL AND BODY. VIDE ENEADA-I-9 2. Nature releases what nature has bound. The soul releases what the soul has bound. Nature binds the body to the soul, but it is the soul herself that has bound herself to the body. It, therefore, belongs to nature to detach the body from…

    VIDE Eneada-VI-4 OF THE INCORPOREAL. 35. The incorporeal is that which is conceived of by abstraction of the body; that is the derivation of its name. To this genus, according to ancient sages, belong matter, sense-form, when conceived of apart from matter, natures, faculties, place, time, and surface. All these entities, indeed, are called incorporeal…

    UNION OF THE SOUL AND THE BODY. VIDE Eneada-IV-III 21.

    1. Plotinus, the philosopher our contemporary, seemed ashamed of being in the body. So deeply rooted was this feeling that he could never be induced to tell of his ancestry, his parentage, or his birthplace. He showed, too, an unconquerable reluctance to sit to a painter of a sculptor, and when Amelius persisted in urging…
