Plotinus
Plotinus
[133] As thought Aristotle, de Anima, ii. 1.4.
[134] In his Timaeus, 34; 30.
[135] Plato does just the opposite.
[136] Being the power which directs the animal from above, see i. 1.7.
[137] As thought Plato in the Timaeus, 73.
[138] iv. 3.13.
[139] As thought Plato in the Menexenus, 248.
[140] As Aristotle asked, de Memoria et Remin. 1.
[141] See i. 1.11.
[142] Plato, Philebus, C ii. 359.
[143] As thought Plato, in the Philebus, C ii. 357.
[144] As thought Plato in his Philebus, C ii. 363.
[145] See i. 1.12; iv. 3.32; the irrational soul, which is an image of
the rational soul, is plunged in the darkness of sense-life.
[146] As thought Plato in his Philebus, C ii. 359.
[147] In iv. 3.27.
[148] As thought Aristotle, de Mem. 1.
[149] As thought Aristotle.
[150] As thought Aristotle.
[151] See i. 4.10.
[152] As Numenius said, fr. 32.
[153] Another reading is: "All perceptions belong to forms which can
reduce to all things." But this does not connect with the next sentence.
[154] According to Plato Phaedrus, 246; C vi. 40, and Philebus, 30; C
ii. 347.
[155] Timaeus, 33.
[156] A pun on "schêma" and "schêsis."
[157] As thought Aristotle, de Gen. et Corr. ii. 2-8.
[158] Rep. x. 617; C x. 287; see 2.3.9.
[159] Rep. x.
[160] According to Aristotle.
[161] iv. 4.23.
[162] Aristotle, de Anima, ii. 7.
[163] See section 5.
[164] As thought Aristotle, de Anim. ii. 7.
[165] As Plato pointed out in his Meno, 80.
[166] As Plato teaches.
[167] A mistaken notion of Plato's, then common; see Matth. 6.23.
[168] Diog. Laert. vii. 157.
[169] Section 8.
[170] Section 2.
[171] Section 6.
[172] This Stoic theory is set forth by Diogenes Laertes in vii. 157.
[173] As thought Aristotle, de Anima, ii. 8.
[174] As Aristotle again thought.
[175] As thought Aristotle, de Gener. Anim. v. 1.
[176] See iv. 4.29.
[177] This book sounds more Numenian or Amelian, than the former three,
which seem to have been written to answer questions of Porphyry's.
[178] See section 1-7.
[179] As thought Aristotle in his Physics, viii.
[180] iv. 3.10.
[181] See ii. 3.13.
[182] iii. 6.6.
[183] Children, whose minds are still weak, and cannot understand the
theories of speculative sciences exhibited by Nic. Eth. x. 7.
[184] This upper part of the universal Soul is the principal power of
the soul; see ii. 3.17.
[185] See ii. 3.18.
[186] In his Phaedrus, 272, Cary, 75.
[187] That is, the essence of the known object, a pun on "reason," as
in ii. 6.2.
[188] see iv. 6.3.
[189] Which is the visible form; see iii. 8.1.
[190] As thought Plato, Banquet, Cary, 31, and Aristotle in Aristotle,
de Anima, ii. 4.
[191] This sounds as if it were a quotation from Numenius, though it
does not appear in the latter's fragments.
[192] See i. 8.2.
[193] See v. 1.4.
[194] See iii. 7.2.
[195] See iii. 7.10.
[196] Notice the connection between this thought and ii. 5, written in
the same period of his life; see vi. 8.18.
[197] See iii. 3.7 and vi. 8.15.
