Metaphor of Freedom: Human and Divine Freedom in Plotinus
Type de matériel :
7
Against the Peripatetics, Plotinus places the origin of the human freedom in the divine principles. Three modes of freedom can be distinguished in the Enneads. The expressive freedom follows the general movement of emanation : it concerns the voluntary descent of the soul into individual body. The self-determined freedom is the self-possession by which each principle gives itself a delimited contents. Finally, the transcendent freedom is the pure simplicity of the One, which is above the multiplicity of the intelligible ousia.
