Notice how well the chronological order works out. The former book (31) and the next (33) treat of the Gnostics, while this book treats of the philosophical principle of their practical aspect. Besides, it explains the Amelio-Porphyrian quarrel. Like all other difficulties of the time, it was about Gnosticism, and Amelius's dismissal meant that Plotinos rejected Egyptian Gnosticism, and Numenius's true position as a dualist stands revealed; but after Porphyry's departure, Plotinos harked back to it.244We see here an assertion of the standpoint later asserted by Berkeley, Kant and Hegel that the mind cannot go outside itself, and that consequently it is the measure of all things. Kant's "thing-in-itself," a deduction from this, was already discovered by Plotinos in the result of the "bastard reasoning" process, which Hegel called "dialectic."245See iii. 6.1.246The Kantian "thing-in-itself." See Porphyry, Principles of Intelligibles, 33.247See iii. 6.1.248Here is a pun based on "doxa."249"Paradechomenê."250"Doxa," which is derived from "dechesthai," to receive.251We would, in other words, become pessimists.252This is Philo's secondary divinity, p. 27, Guthrie's "Message of Philo Judaeus."253That is, of the Intelligence and of the intelligible entities.254Who is the Unity; a Numenian conception, fr. 36.255A term reminiscent of the famous Christian Nicene formulation.256That is we will form a "pair." Numenius, 14, also taught the Pythagorean "pair or doubleness."257See vi. 6.16.258Pun between essences, "einai," and one, or "henos."259"Ousia."260Notice the two words for "essence." Plato Cratylus, 424; Cary, 87.261As Plato in his Cratylus suggests.262Or, essence.263Or, essence, to be.264Being.265The goddess Hestia in Greek, or Vesta in Latin; but "hestia" also meant a "stand." P. 401, Cratylus, Cary, 40.266See Numenius, 67, 42.267See ii. 9.1; iii. 9.9.268Such as Numenius, 42, and Plutarch, de Isis et Osiris, Fr. Tr. 381.269From "a-polus."270See i. 6.4; iii. 5.1.271See v. 5.1.272See i. 6, end.273Pun between "on" and "hen."274See Plato, Rep. vi., Cary, 13.275Mentioned in Biography of Plotinos, 16.276See vi. 9.

Plotinos is followed by Jamblichus and Damascius, but Proclus and Hermias denied that the soul did not entirely enter into the body, Stobaeus, Ecl. i. 52.290See iv. 3.18; iv. 4.3.291The intelligible world.292See iv. 3.1–8; iv. 9.293Thus Plotinos opposes the Gnostic belief that the world was created, and will perish.294See ii. 9, 9, 16.295The Gnostic Horos.296As Plato said Phaedrus, 246; Cary, 55.297The Gnostic theory of creation by the fall of Sophia and Achamoth.298See ii. 9.11. Valentinus however said only that Achamoth had created all things in honor of the aeons; only the later theologians held this view mentioned by Plotinos.299See i. 2.1, 2.300See I. Tim. vi. 20, 21; and ii. 9.9.301See ii. 3.9.302See ii. 1.4.303This, however, is a mistake of Plotinos's, as the Gnostics held not this, but that the pneumatic or spiritual humans dwell on earth, and the psychic in heaven, as Bouillet remarks.304So that they should remain in the model instead of descending here below?305By remaining in the model, instead of descending here below.306That is, the spiritual germs emanating from the "plerôma."307Plotinos here treats as synonymous "new earth," "reason of the world," "model of the world," and "form of the world;" but Bouillet shows that there is reason to believe he was in error in the matter.308From the plerôma, whose "seeds of election" they were, and which now become to them a foreign country.309Of the aeons, from whom souls, as intelligible beings, had emanated.310As in the famous drama of Sophia and Achamoth.311The unseen place; the transmigrations of Basilides, Valentinus, Carpocrates, and the others.312P. 39. Cary, 15.313Added to Plato by Plotinos.314Plotinos had done so himself (Intelligence, and the intelligible world); Numenius (25) also did so.315See iv. 3.8, 15.316Such as Pythagoras and Plato, Life of Plot. 23.317See ii. 9.17.318The doctrine of the Gnostics.319Or, generations, the "syzygies" of the aeons, see Titus iii. 9.320ii. 9.17.321As in the drama of the fall of Sophia and Achamoth.322See ii. 1.1; iii. 2.1; iv. 3.9.323See i. 2.324iv. 3.325For the descending souls enter bodies already organized by the universal Soul, see iv. 3.6; ii. 1.5; ii. 3.9; ii. 9.18.326Lower part, see ii. 1.5; ii. 3.5, 18.327See ii. 1, 3, 4, 5.328The first "bond" is nature, the second is the human soul.329See ii. 1.3.330That is, the stars, ii. 3.7–13.331See ii. 9.5.332With Plato's Timaeus, 29, Cary, 9.333In the universal Soul, ii. 3.16, 17.334By existing and creating, see ii. 5.2.335See i. 8.7, for matter.336See ii. 9.3.337See Philo, de Gigant. i.338See ii. 2.1.339See ii. 3.9–13.340See iv. 8.341See ii. 3.9.342See i. 4.8.343See i. 2.344See i. 4.7.345See ii. 3.13.346See i. 4.8.347See i. 4.14–16.348See ii. 3.8, 16.349See ii. 3.9.350See below.351The stars, see ii. 3.9.352That is, Intelligence, see i. 8.2.353The stars prognosticate events, see ii. 3.9.354See i. 2.355To the perfect Father, Bythos, Irenaeus, ii. 18.356See Irenaeus, iii. 15.357See ii. 9.16.358See Irenaeus. i. 21.359See Irenaeus, iii. 15.360See i. 1.12.361Thus identifying the "reasonable soul" with Sophia, and "the soul of growth and generation" with Achamoth.362See ii. 9.4.363ii. 3.16.364Or "seminal reasons," ii. 3.13.365See iii. 4.1.366As wrote Plato in his second Letter, 2, 312, Cary, 482.367Jeremiah x. 2.368Pindar, Olymp. i. 43.369See ii. 3.9.370See ii. 3.7.371See ii. 3.7.372As thought Plato, Laws, x, p. 897, Cviii. 265; Cary, C8, that evil is only negative.373See Irenaeus, i. 25.374See Origen, c. Cels. i. 24.375See i. 2.376This is, however, extreme, as Clement of Alexandria hands down helpful extracts from Valentinus, Strom. iv.; etc.377See ii. 9.9378See i. 6.7.379In his Phaedo, pp. 66, 67; Cary, 29–32.380That is, according to its receptivity.381As thought Plato in the Timaeus, p. 29; C xi. 110, Cary, 10.382By the soul that gives it form, see i. 6.2.383See iii. 4.6; v. 1.2–6.384See i.4.8–14.385This was evidently a rebuke to Amelius, for his faithfulness to Numenius; and it is at this time that Amelius left Plotinos.386This may refer to Numenius's views, see fr. 27 b. 10.387Compare Numenius, fr. 61, 62a.

244We see here an assertion of the standpoint later asserted by Berkeley, Kant and Hegel that the mind cannot go outside itself, and that consequently it is the measure of all things. Kant's "thing-in-itself," a deduction from this, was already discovered by Plotinos in the result of the "bastard reasoning" process, which Hegel called "dialectic."
