    LA NATURA DEL DEMIURGO E LA GENERAZIONE DEL COSMO NELL’ESEGESI PROCLIANA

    No full text
    Scopo del lavoro è prendere in esame l’interpretazione procliana del Timeo in relazione a due grandi problematiche della tradizione esegetica platonica: la locuzione ποιητὴς καὶ πατήρ e l'interpretazione del perfetto γέγονεν in Ti. 27c5 e 28b6-7. L'esegesi procliana affronta le due questioni risolvendole attraverso una prospettiva rigorosamente sistematica in quanto fondata su una struttura metafisico-teologica unitaria e armonica

    The objective of this contribution is to reconstruct from the analysis of some chap- ters of enn. IV 6 [41] the act of bodily vision and the passing from vision in the physical sense to the supra-intellectual vision of the Soul, described by Plotinus in enn. VI 9 [9] and VI 7 [38]. For the description of the supra-intellectual vision, some chapters of treatises VI 9 [9] and VI 7 [38] will be examined, those in which the union (ἕνωσις) of the Soul with the One is described, which takes place through a real process of internalization that Plotinus in enn. VI 9 [9], 11 defines as ἔκστασις. The Soul, by virtue of the original bond that ties it to the intelligible world, can retrace the journey of ascent to reunite with the Principle that generat- ed it

    Il mito riveste un ruolo decisivo nel pensiero neoplatonico che, per esprimere le realtà costitutivamente ineffabili, ricorre all’efficacia dell’immagine narrata, alla metafora e all’analogia. In Plotino e nel neoplatonismo successivo, in particolare in Proclo, l’interesse per il mito si manifesta non soltanto nella riflessione sul racconto mitico ma anche nella spiegazione dell’etimologia dei nomi divini

    Il corpo vivente: tracce di biologia in Plotino

    Although Plotinus does not explicitly address the main problems of the biology, nevertheless the way in which he deals with the philosophical questions has got important consequences in the biological field, too. Ploti- nus dwells on the description of the somatic life’s characters, trying to answer at three fundamental questions: the first one, concerning the structure of the living organism and the organization of bodily functions; the second one, relating to a very complex subject concerning the psychophysical unity of the individual; the third one concerning the reflection on the embryology. In this contribution I will try to show how, starting from the analysis of the notion of life in an ontological sense, and, in particular, from the attempt to answer questions concerning psychol- ogy and the relationship between the soul and the body, Plotinus comes to delineate a sort of philosophy of biology
