PLOTINO: EN TORNO A LOS INFLUJOS
PLOTINUS, ON THE ASTRAL INFLUENCES
PLOTIN, DESPRE INFLUENŢELE ASTRALE
Abstract: According to Plotinus, “man is his soul”; nevertheless, the
common man forgets his real ontological condition. Hence, all the ordinary
problems and obstacles of life are engendered. In this context, Plotinus
attempts his anthropological analysis, which also avails of an astrological
account of human life. In the Enneades, IV.4 (28) 30-45, the cosmic and
astral influences are presented as one of the “problems of the soul”.
Keywords: Plotinus, Enneades, anthropology, cosmology, freedom,
influences, Hellenism, astrology.
