Plotinus (204 or 205 – 270 C.E.) is the founder of Neoplatonism. He is one of the most influential ancient philosophers after Plato and Aristotle.
Like all of his followers after him, Plotinus thought of himself simply as a Platonist, that is, as a philosopher who explains and defends the philosophical position that Plato best described.
Neoplatonism, a philosophical tradition derived from the ideas of Plato, developed its distinct shape in Egypt through the ideas of the Alexandrian philosopher Ammonius Saccas in the third century but reached its zenith in the works of his follower Plotinus, who was mostly active in Rome.
Plotinus is regarded as the originator of Neoplatonism. Plotinus devised a sophisticated spiritual cosmology encompassing three fundamental elements: the One, the Intelligence, and the Soul, based on his understanding of Plato. Plotinus says that all existence comes from how these three Beings work together to make things happen.
The principle of emanation is not just a cause-and-effect relationship but also a way to think about things. In his system, Plotinus makes intellectual contemplation a productive principle; it is through contemplation that all things are said to be one, all-encompassing reality. In this way, Plotinus is not a strict pantheist, but his system doesn't allow the idea of "creation ex nihilo" (creation out of nothingness).
In addition to his theory of the universe, Plotinus also came up with a unique approach to how sense perception and knowledge work. This theory is based on the idea that the mind actively shapes or orders the things it perceives rather than just passively receiving the data of sense experience.
In today's video, we'll look at some of the best Plotinus quotes from this roman philosopher providing an insight into his thoughts and sayings.
▶️Some of best Plotinus Quotes:
• Each one of us is part of the soul of the universe.
• The soul that beholds beauty becomes beautiful.
• Knowing ourselves, we are beautiful; in self-ignorance, we are ugly.
• Knowledge, if it does not determine action, is dead to us.
• You can only apprehend the Infinite by a faculty that is superior to reason.
• We must close our eyes and invoke a new manner of seeing, a wakefulness that is the birthright of us all, though few put it to use.
• Fear must be entirely banished. The purified soul will fear nothing.
• The purification of the Soul is simply to allow it to be alone; it is pure when it keeps no company.
• All things are filled full of signs, and it is a wise man who can learn about one thing from another.
• To set oneself above intellect is immediately to fall outside it.
