Plotinus, 205 - 270 Plotinus is generally considered the founder of the Neoplatonic school of philosophy, though his philosophical system built upon those of his predecessors, Numenius and Ammonius Saccas . Many of his sayings were recorded by Amelius . For the New England Transcendentalists, Plotinus provided intriguing mystical ideas such as the doctrine of the One, the source from which all goodness, truth, and beauty flows. Through this divine "emanation" the universe remains intrinsically positive: Plotinus, like Ralph Waldo Emerson , held that evil is not real but merely privativea failure of the soul to harness the good that is immanently present in the universe and available to all. Plotinus felt that only a faculty superior to both sense and reason, that is, a mystical intuition founded on the personality of the soul, could truly apprehend the infinite. These ideas formed the basis of transcendental concepts such as Emerson's Over-Soul, Amos Bronson Alcott 's theory of Genesis, the possibility of ecstatic union with God, and the perfectibility of humanity through developmental stages.

Moreover, in each case the third and fourth categories, disposition and relative disposition, embraced the most important questions. To the extent that the categories supply a methodological framework common to all three departments of philosophy, they constitute a unifying element.

home index ancient Greece Plotinus Plotinus ( Plotinus (205-270): Greek philosopher, creator of the great synthesis of late Antiquity, called Neo-Platonism. After the age of Posidonius of Apamea , it was not uncommon that philosophers from one school borrowed concepts and ideas from other branches of philosophy. Slowly, the schools were merging, and a new synthesis (called Neo-Platonism) was created by Plotinus (205-270). Like Plato , Plotinus accepted that our world was a mere shadow of the world of the ideas, which was in turn -and this was a novel idea- a shadow of an even higher world, which was again a shadow of the One God. In other words, the world has four levels of reality: God was the highest level, and then there were the levels of the intellect, the soul, and matter. (That matter is more real than the speculative levels of existence, as we think, was an unusual idea in Antiquity.) According to Plotinus, the wise man would try, by means of ascesis, to free his soul from matter and unite it with God. Plotinus achieved this unity several times, and it would not be wrong to compare him to the mystics of all civilizations. His pupil Porphyrius organized the treatises of Plotinus (the Enneads ) and also wrote a biography of his master. The Neo-Platonic philosophy was adopted by the fathers of the church Ambrose and

In the western world, Plotinus was only a name until 1492.(1) None of his treatises had been translated during the Middle Ages, and the translations dating back to antiquity had been lost. He was not totally unknown, however, thanks to scholars like Firmicus Maternus, Saint Augustine, Macrobius, and to those parts of the works of Proclus translated in the thirteenth century by William of Moerbeke. But Plotinus's own writings remained completely unknown, and as Vespasiano da Bisticci observed in his Vite, "senza i libri non si poteva fare nulla" ("without the books, nothing can be done").(2) This fact was to change completely only with the publication by Marsilio Ficino of his Latin translation of the Enneads. The colophon colophon [Gr.,=finishing stroke]. Before the use of printing in Western Europe a manuscript often ended with a statement about the author, the scribe, or the illuminator.

55. Khan Amore's Highlights Of Ancient Greek Philosophy: Plotinus & Neo-Platonism Khan Amore s Article on plotinus and NeoPlatonism s Descent into Unintelligble Religious Mysticism, and on the the Genesis of Religion, and Philosophy, http://www.hypatia-lovers.com/AncientGreeks/Section26.html

Plotinus (circa A.D. 205 - 270) and Neo-Platonism Born in Lycopolis, Egypt, and educated in Alexandria, Plotinus was the mystical Roman “philosopher” who founded the school of Neo-Platonism in Rome. Neo-Platonism marked the end-state of ancient Greek philosophy, the demise of ancient Science, and heralded a return to mysticism, superstition, religion, and the tyranny of unquestioning Faith. Because Neo-Platonism was the last pathetic gasp of a once-brilliant culture, it would be well at this point to re-trace the developments in the mind of man which led to the rise and fall of Natural Philosophy .... Back in the mists of time, even before the advent of civilization, men found that their lives were more secure if they banded together in cooperation. A single man was weak and vulnerable, and was no match for even the cubs of other animals, but a group of men working together could bring down even a fully-grown mastodon. Not long after they began to band together in this way, they must have discovered that cooperation is impossible if every man does what he likes without regard for others, and so it was discovered that rules were necessary to ensure that people were not at cross purposes.

In so doing, she presents a radical new perspective on the philosophy of Plotinus and engages in an intense, detailed, and critical re-reading of Plotinus and his commentators. This effect is witnessed in her choice of texts, from the early and very famous treatise "The Three Initial Hypostases" (V,1[10]) to her very singular use and analysis of the late treatise "On Love" (III,5[50]). Of interest to scholars in Plotinian studies, this book has yet a larger audience as the author investigates the full range of Plotinian epistemology from the originative production of the One, that is the Intellect, to the last declension of true being that is Nature, the lower part of world Soul. The style is fluid and appeals to scholars of ancient philosophy as well as more contemporary discussions in the field of metaphysics and epistemology. Chapter 1 sets forth the basic problematic of the work in terms of the Plotinian doctrine of two acts, the intrinsic act of being and the derived act of being, and introduces the central theme of the study, namely that discursive knowledge for Plotinus consists in a vision of Soul which must be actualized. Aporetic in outcome, this first part of the study points out the many difficulties attached to having such knowledge at all.

[Home] Bible Job Homer ... Thoughts for 2005 Brian Hines Bill Long 11/19/04 Plotinus for the 21st Century In 1979, when I was pursuing my doctorate in Early Christianity at Brown University, my closest graduate school friend was John Peter Kenney. John was a Catholic from Lawrence, MA, a brilliant and articulate thinker whose love for Augustine was gradually leading him to take full cognizance of the Neoplatonic tradition in philosophy. So he turned to the shadowy world of the Middle Platonists but, even more, to the work of Plotinus. In great elation one day John told me that he had just received a fellowship to study at the University of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Halifax was where A.H. Armstrong, known as "Hillary" to his friends, the greatest living scholar of Plotinus, held forth. I knew of Armstrong because John would constantly regale me with his insights on the importance of the "apophatic" tradition in Christian theology (i.e., "negative theology"), which he thought needed recapturing in our day. John has never lost his love for Plotinus; his 1991 book on
