On The Impassivity Of Incorporeal Natures

By Plotinus

Book Overview

On The Impassivity Of Incorporeal Natures is a philosophical work by Plotinus, a prominent ancient Greek philosopher who lived in the 3rd century AD. The book is part of his larger work, the Enneads, which is a collection of nine treatises on various philosophical topics. In this particular book, Plotinus explores the concept of incorporeal natures and their relationship to the physical world. He argues that these natures, which include things like the soul and the divine, are fundamentally different from physical objects and therefore cannot be affected by the same things that affect physical objects. Plotinus also discusses the nature of causality and how it applies to incorporeal natures. He argues that these natures are not subject to causality in the same way that physical objects are, and that their existence is not dependent on any external factors. Throughout the book, Plotinus draws on a variety of philosophical traditions, including Platonism and Aristotelianism, to develop his ideas. He also engages with other prominent philosophers of his time, such as Porphyry and Proclus, in order to refine and clarify his arguments. Overall, On The Impassivity Of Incorporeal Natures is a complex and challenging work that requires a deep understanding of ancient Greek philosophy. It is an important contribution to the study of metaphysics and the nature of reality, and it continues to be studied and debated by philosophers today.THIS 42 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Select Works of Plotinus, by Plotinus .
