Book excerpt: Plotinus (/plɒˈtaɪnəs/; Greek: Πλωτῖνος; c. 204/5 - 270) was a major Greek-speaking philosopher of the ancient world. In his philosophy there are three principles: the One, the Intellect, and the Soul. His teacher was Ammonius Saccas and he is of the Platonic tradition. Historians of the 19th century invented the term Neoplatonism and applied it to him and his philosophy which was influential in Late Antiquity. Much of the biographical information about Plotinus comes from Porphyry's preface to his edition of Plotinus' Enneads. His metaphysical writings have inspired centuries of Pagan, Islamic, Jewish, Christian, and Gnostic metaphysicians and mystics.Plotinus taught that there is a supreme, totally transcendent "One", containing no division, multiplicity or distinction; beyond all categories of being and non-being. His "One" "cannot be any existing thing", nor is it merely the sum of all things, but "is prior to all existents". Plotinus identified his "One" with the concept of 'Good' and the principle of 'Beauty'. His "One" concept encompassed thinker and object. Even the self-contemplating intelligence (the noesis of the nous) must contain duality. "Once you have uttered 'The Good,' add no further thought: by any addition, and in proportion to that addition, you introduce a deficiency." Plotinus denies sentience, self-awareness or any other action (ergon) to the One. Rather, if we insist on describing it further, we must call the One a sheer potentiality (dynamis) or without which nothing could exist. As Plotinus explains in both places and elsewhere, it is impossible for the One to be Being or a self-aware Creator God. Plotinus compared the One to "light", the Divine Nous (first will towards Good) to the "Sun", and lastly the Soul to the "Moon" whose light is merely a "derivative conglomeration of light from the 'Sun'". The first light could exist without any celestial body.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of interest to scholars in Plotinian studies, this book has yet a larger audience as the author investigates the full range of Plotinian epistemology from the originative production of the One, that is the Intellect, to the last declension of true being that is Nature, the lower part of world Soul. The style is fluid and appeals to scholars of ancient philosophy as well as more contemporary discussions in the field of metaphysics and epistemology."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Augustine and Plotinus: the Human Mind as Image of the Divine Laela Zwollo provides an inside view of two of the most influential thinkers of late antiquity: the Christian Augustine and the Neo-Platonist Plotinus. By exploring the finer points and paradoxes of their doctrines of the image of God (the human soul/intellect), the illustrious church father’s complex interaction with his most important non-biblical source comes into focus. In order to fathom Augustine, we should first grasp the beauty in Plotinus’ philosophy and its attractiveness to Christians. This monograph will contribute to a better understanding of the formative years of Christianity as well as later ancient philosophy. It can serve as a handbook for becoming acquainted with the two thinkers, as well as for delving into the profundity of their thought.

Book excerpt: Regarded as the founder of Neo-Platonism, Plotinus (AD 204-70) was the last great philosopher of antiquity, producing 0works that proved in many ways a precursor to Renaissance thought. Plotinus was convinced of the existence of a state of supreme perfection and argued powerfully that it was necessary to guide the human soul towards this state. Here he outlines his compelling belief in three increasingly perfect levels of existence - the Soul, the Intellect, and the One - and explains his conviction that humanity must strive to draw the soul towards spiritual transcendence. A fusion of Platonism, mystic passion and Aristotelian thought, The Enneads offers a highly original synthesis of early philosophical and religious beliefs, which powerfully influenced later Christian and Islamic theology.

After correcting and naming each treatise, Porphyry wrote a biography of his master, Life of Plotinus, intended to be an Introduction to the Enneads. Porphyry's edition does not follow the chronological order in which Enneads were written, but responds to a plan of study which leads the learner from subjects related to his own affairs to subjects concerning the uttermost principles of the universe.The Enneads, fully The Six Enneads, is the collection of writings of Plotinus, edited and compiled by his student Porphyry. Plotinus was a student of Ammonius Saccas and they were founders of Neoplatonism.

All good souls dwell in the far-spread heavens, infusing life into the stars, consciously moving around the One Centre, seeking nothing beyond. Eternity is stable in Unity. All is bound to The Good, but The Good to none: It is the object of all aspiration. In Unity there can be no knowing. The One can only know Itself through Plurality. But in the great illusion of form, The One stands distinct and apart: it is present without being inherent.

Book excerpt: “Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html The Florentine Union and its rejection by the Church is the most important event in the relations between the Orthodox East and the Latin West. The only participant in the Florentine Council (1439) who defended the truth of Orthodoxy to the end was Saint Mark of Ephesus. /// The book by Archimandrite Ambrose (Pogodin) acquaints the reader with the history of the Ferrara-Florence Council and contemporary events, with the life and works of Saint Mark of Ephesus, as well as with unique theological discussions about the cleansing fire, the procession of the Holy Spirit and the Creed. /// The book is intended for all those interested in the life of the Church, the teachings of Orthodoxy and the Latin, historians and philosophers. The first edition came out in a small circulation in the USA in 1963. /// Then, you asked us the fourth question: - what is this [thing] sent from God (α'ίγλη), which, we say, is enjoyed by the saints in heaven. - We have already said about this, as far as it is possible to speak about this not by experience, by those who have experienced, but by those who have learned from the saints. Nothing more can be said than what they say. Thus, defining this radiance that he calls "enlightenment" the master builder of "Heavenly Rudder" divinely-inspired John, spoke thus: "Enlightenment has an ineffable effect, which in an incomprehensible way renders the visible and invisible comprehensible," 226 ). Have you heard the definition? - Do not test anything else; for we do not want and cannot speak about the invisible and unknown.

Book excerpt: “Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html And it is obvious that those who strive for the Divine, this very striving, that is, love, purifies, as Gregory the Theologian says, - while purifying, it makes them godlike, communicates with those who have become, as it were, their own; why, after death, this striving was much less capable of purifying those who are freed from matter, but there is still a need for a cleansing fire for minor sins? /// II. Then, it is more characteristic of the goodness of God not to ignore a small good than to consider a small sin worthy of punishment. However, little good in those who have committed great sins will not receive a reward, due to the prevalence of evil. Likewise, a small evil in those who were righteous in great deeds will not lead to punishment, due to the fact that the best deeds win: for if there is not that which represents the greater part, then, of course, there will not be anything that is less. So, one should not believe in the cleansing fire. /// … /// But, okay, let's move on! And after that Council, the Fourth (Ecumenical) Council was assembled, which, after first reading its own decree and both Symbols, accepted both Symbols (Nicene and Constantinople) as if one, and after reading it immediately confirmed: “Suits for a complete knowledge of piety and confirmation - this holy and blessed Symbol of Divine grace ”[ [76]]. Do you hear: "Holy Symbol"? So, both Symbols are one Symbol: for the second contains the first. And the third Ecumenical Council spoke of the two Symbols as one. But listen to what follows this: - "For he teaches perfectly about the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit." Do you hear: "he teaches perfectly"? So, there is nothing in it that is imperfect in relation to the Holy Spirit, and the Symbol of Faith does not need to be added. But how should this Symbol be preserved, they say at the end: “So, through those decrees and determinations that we were pleased to endure, this Holy and Ecumenical Council decided that no one is allowed to introduce a different faith, that is, to write, or compose, or learn, or contribute. Those who dared to write, or form a different faith, such - if they are bishops or clergy - to alienate bishops from the bishopric and clergy from the clergy, and if they are laymen, - to anathematize them. " And the fact that here "faith" is called the Symbol of Faith is clear, I suppose, for those who have reason; for the Council speaks, by no means, of a decree, since after that there were various decrees. The same "faith" is made "different" not only by many words, but also by only one addition or subtraction or change. For "to write," to compose "and" to bring in "clearly indicate the composition of words, and this is prohibited.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sergius Bulgakov is widely considered to be the twentieth century's foremost Orthodox theologian, and his book The Comforter is an utterly comprehensive and profound study of the Holy Spirit. Encyclopedic in scope, The Comforter explores all aspects of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, as they are viewed in the Orthodox tradition and throughout church history. The book has sections on the development of the doctrine of the Spirit in early Christianity and on the development of the doctrine of procession in the patristic and later Byzantine periods. It also touches on the place of the Holy Spirit in the Trinity and explores Old and New Testament notions of the Spirit of God. A concluding chapter deals with the mystical revelation of the Holy Spirit. Made available in English through the work of Boris Jakim, today's premier translator of Russian theology and philosophy into English, Bulgakov's Comforter in this edition is a major publishing event.
