A major philosopher of the ancient world in the tradition of Plato. He developed a system of belief based on three principles: The One, The Intellect and The Soul. The composite of these principles is easily to prove the existence of God to most Christians, but it is unlikely that Plotinus meant any such thing - even though our concept of the Trinity seems to borrow an awful lot from him. A very difficult read. Plotinus creates a hierarchical cosmology that unites in the One. Humans (frontier beings) descend instantaneously from the One and strive to unite back with the One by avoiding Matter and Evil. He converses at great length about problems of evil, discusses beauty, and creates a unique and complex cosmology. An interesting read and not as "profoundly wrong," as one may think and has some valid points. Although I agree that Plotinus errs with the concept of preserving identity, he does make a terrific argument. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
