| Sumario: | In Ennead IV, 7, Plotinus affirms that the nature of man is not simple, since he has a soul and a body. The Plotinian doctrine of the relations between the soul and the body is a complex one: the body is not united with the soul, but with a kind of image of the soul. This composite of body and image of soul is the seat of the affections. In this paper, I study what Plotinus says in III, 6 about the origin of the affections in the composite and how it relates with the soul and its impassibility. |
