Abstract
MARTIN DE BLASSI, Fernando Gabriel. Plotinus and the novelty of his metaphysical principle. Franciscanum [online]. 2021, vol.63, n.176, pp.8-8. Epub Nov 12, 2021. ISSN 0120-1468. https://doi.org/10.21500/01201468.5193.
The histories of philosophy places Plotinus as the first thinker belonging to the third period of the Platonic school, entitled with a historiographical category renowned as Neoplatonism. On the basis of this assumption, which organizes the tradition of thought according to a chronological succession of ideas and their respective influences, this paper aims to assert a critical distinction regarding the metaphysical originality of the Plotinian principle. Through a textual analysis of sources and specialized bibliography, it is intended to prove that the absolute transcendence of the One-Good with respect to the world strictly belongs to an order of truths much closer to the philosophical course of the subsequent phase.
Keywords : History of philosophy; Metaphysics; Plotinus; One-Good; Neoplatonism.
