Tratado 49 (V, 3) — OF GNOSTIC HYPOSTASES, AND THAT WHICH IS BEYOND THEM. (Thomas Taylor)
—
I. Is it therefore necessary, that intellect should be in itself various, in order that by one of the things contained in itself, having surveyed the rest, it may be thus said to understand itself, as if it would not be able to be converted to, and have an intellectual perception of itself, if it…

Tratado 49 (V, 3, 16-17) — OF GNOSTIC HYPOSTASES, AND THAT WHICH IS BEYOND THEM. (Thomas Taylor)
—
XVI. That it is necessary, therefore, there should be something after the first, has been elsewhere asserted by us. And, in short, we have said that this which is next to the first (principle of things) is power, and an inestimable power. This, likewise, is rendered credible from all other things, because there is nothing…

Alcibiades I (106b-109c) — Interrogatório de Sócrates sobre a competência de Alcibíades (Thomas Taylor)
—
SOC. Do you ask me, whether I am able to prove it to you in a long harangue, such a one as you are accustomed to hear? I have no abilities in that way. But yet I should be able, as I think, to prove to you, that those pretensions of mine are not vain,…

Tratado 1 (I, 6) — Concerning the beautiful (Thomas Taylor)
—
The design of the following discourse is to bring us to the perception of the beautiful itself, even while connected with a corporeal nature, which must be the great end of all true philosophy, and which Plotinus happily obtained. To a genius, indeed, truly modern, w’ith whom the crucible and the air-pump are alone the…

Tratado 33 (II, 9) — AGAINST THE GNOSTICS. (Thomas Taylor)
—
AGAINST THE GNOSTICS.1 I. Since it has appeared to us that the nature of the good is simple and the first; for every thing which is not the first is not simple; and since it has nothing in itself, but is one alone, and the nature of what is called the one, is the same…

Tratado 11 (V, 2) — On the generation and order of things after the first. (Thomas Taylor)
—
I. The one is all things, and yet no one of all. For the principle of all is not all things; hut the one is all, because all things run as it were into it, or rather do not as yet exist, but will be. How, therefore, (does multitude proceed) from the one which is…

Tratado 49 (V, 3, 5-10) — OF GNOSTIC HYPOSTASES, AND THAT WHICH IS BEYOND THEM. (Thomas Taylor)
—
V. Does intellect, therefore, by one part of itself behold another part? In this case, however, one part will be that which sees, but another, that which is seen. And this is not for the same thing to see itself. What then ? If the whole is a thing of such a kind as to…

Tratado 12 (II, 4, 6-16) — On dialectic. (Thomas Taylor)
—
VI. Of the receptacle of bodies, however, we must speak as follows: That it is necessary then, there should be a certain subject to bodies, which is different from them, the mutation of the elements into each other manifests. For there is not a perfect corruption of that which is changed ; since if there…

ON INTELLECT, IDEAS,1 AND (REAL) BEING For a more ample discussion of Ideas than is contained in this treatise of Plotinus, see the Introduction and Notes to my translation of the ” Parmenides of Plato,” and the notes to my translation of Aristotle’s ” Metaphysics,” in which the reader will find treasures of antiquity on…

República I 350c-354c: A noção do justo
—
in República ITrasímaco convino en todo esto, aunque no con tanta facilidad como yo lo refiero, pues le arranqué estas confesiones con un trabajo infinito. Sudaba en grande, con tanto más motivo cuanto que era verano, y entonces vi que por primera vez Trasímaco se ruborizaba. Pero cuando estuvimos de acuerdo en que la justicia es virtud…

Tratado 24 (V, 6) — That the nature which is beyond being is not intellective; and what that is which is primarily, and also that which is secondarily, intellective. (Thomas Taylor)
—
I. One kind of intelligence is the intellectual perception of another thing, but another is the perception of a thing by itself, or when a thing perceives itself; the latter of which flies in a greater degree from duplicity, or doubleness in intellection. But the former wishes also to avoid this diversity, but is less…

Tactate 27 (IV, 3) — A discussion of doubts relative to the soul. (Thomas Taylor)
—
I. Is it necessary to consider such doubts as pertain to the soul as sufficiently solved ; or shall we say that the doubts themselves are accompanied with this gain, that to know the difficulty with which they are attended, will be a right discussion of the affair ? For what can any one reasonably…

Tratado 33 (II, 9, 15-18) — AGAINST THE GNOSTICS. (Thomas Taylor)
—
XV. What these assertions, however, effect in the souls of those that hear them, persuading them to despise the world, and the things that are in it, ought not by any means to be concealed from us. For there are two sects of philosophers with respect to the attainment of the end of life, one…

noera epibole
Projeção intelectual, noera epibole. Assim como a percepção do intelecto é imediata, sendo o lançar adiante, como tal, diretamente a seus objetos próprios, esta intuição direta é expressa pelo termo projeção. (Thomas Taylor)

Introdução a Plotino (8) (Thomas Taylor)
—
in PlotinoAnd thus much for the life of Plotinus, who was a philosopher pre-eminently distinguished for the strength and profundity of his intellect, and the purity and elevation of his life. He was a being wise without the usual mixture of human darkness, and great without the general combination of human weakness and imperfection. He seems…
