Cover von Sebastian Gertz: PLOTINUS Ennead II.9 (PDF)

How was the universe created, and what is our place within it? These are the questions at the heart of Plotinus‘ Against the Gnostics. For the Gnostics, the universe came into being as a result of the soul’s fall from intelligible reality-it is the evil outcome of a botched creation. Plotinus challenges this, and insists that the soul’s creation of the world is the necessary consequence of its contemplation of the ideal forms. While the Gnostics claim to despise the visible universe, Plotinus argues that such contempt displays their ignorance of the higher realities of which the cosmos is a beautiful image.
