The word is loosely used, and in many different senses. The psychical experiences which are often supposed to distinguish it are really a subsidiary and not indispensable part of the mystical quest, which is the journey of the soul, by an inner ascent, to immediate knowledge of God and communion with Him. The close agreement which we find between mystics of all ages and countries … text/html 2026-03-31T00:09:23+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://platonismo.hyperlogos.info/doku.php?id=autores:guthrie:syllabus-of-lecture-xxii-concluding-reflections&rev=1774915763&do=diff SYLLABUS OF LECTURE XXII — CONCLUDING REFLECTIONS LECTURE XXII CONCLUDING REFLECTIONS There are disquieting resemblances between the period which ushered in the downfall of ancient civilisation and the present world-calamity. But we must remember the Greek conviction that the nature of anything is its highest development, and find comfort in the spiritual heights often attained by individuals, which may be an earnest of the achievements of humanity in the far future.

The history of Platonism is anticipated in Plato himself. But before the fusion of Greek philosophies in Neoplatonism could take place, there had to be a new development and transformation of the older schools. Heracleitus and the Cynics had a new life in Stoicism ; the Atomists and Cyrenaics joined to pro… text/html 2026-03-31T00:09:23+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://platonismo.hyperlogos.info/doku.php?id=autores:guthrie:syllabus-of-lectures-ix-x-xi-the-soul&rev=1774915763&do=diff SYLLABUS OF LECTURES IX, X, XI — THE SOUL LECTURES IX, X, XI THE SOUL The Orphics were the first to teach that the Soul of man is 'fallen ' — 'an exile from God and a wanderer.' Their doctrine of a multitude of immortal souls broke up the older doctrine that Soul generically is the active manifestation of one spiritual Being. The Orphic doctrine involved a theodicy. Plotinus thus inherited a double tradition — that which regarded Soul as analogous to the ' Wisdom ' of later Jewish literature,… text/html 2026-03-31T00:09:23+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://platonismo.hyperlogos.info/doku.php?id=autores:guthrie:syllabus-of-lectures-vi-vii-viii-the-world-of-sense&rev=1774915763&do=diff SYLLABUS OF LECTURES VI, VII, VIII — THE WORLD OF SENSE LECTURES VI, VII, VIII THE WORLD OF SENSE There are two fundamental triads in Plotinus — that of the Divine Principles, the Absolute (to agathon, to en, to proton) ; Spirit (nous), and Soul (psyche) ; and the division of man into Spirit, Soul, and Body. text/html 2026-03-31T00:09:23+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://platonismo.hyperlogos.info/doku.php?id=autores:guthrie:syllabus-of-lectures-xii-xiii-the-immortality-of-the-soul&rev=1774915763&do=diff SYLLABUS OF LECTURES XII, XIII — THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL LECTURES XII, XIII THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL The philosophical and religious belief in immortality came to the Greeks from the mystical tradition associated with the worship of Dionysus. These orgiastic cults produced flashes of intuition that man is immortal. But the belief was slow in taking root, as the literature shows. Pythagoreanism, an intellectualised Orphism, taught the immortality of the Soul, its migration to other bodie… text/html 2026-03-31T00:09:23+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://platonismo.hyperlogos.info/doku.php?id=autores:guthrie:syllabus-of-lectures-xiv-xvi-the-spiritual-world&rev=1774915763&do=diff SYLLABUS OF LECTURES XIV-XVI — THE SPIRITUAL WORLD LECTURES XIV-XVI THE SPIRITUAL WORLD Spirit is the best word for Nous. Reality consists in the Trinity n Unity of Nous, Noesis, and Noeta, in which the whole nature of the Absolute is manifested. Spirit and the spiritual world involve each other and cannot be separated.

Plotinus shows us all three. Dialectic is the study of first principles, which leads to intuitive wisdom. It shows us that the common source of Goodness, Truth, and Beauty must be beyond existence and beyond knowledge. The duality in unity of Spirit and the Spiritual World points to an absolute unity behind them.

For Plotinus, the course of moral progress begins with the political virtues, which include all the duties of a good citizen ; but Plotinus shows no interest in the State as a moral entity. After the political virtues comes purifica…
