Post-Plotinian Platonism rejected Plotinus' doctrine of the not totally fallen soul. For philosophers of this sort, the soul by all rights does not belong to the intelligible world. To rise up to it, it must hand itself over to the power of theurgy. Iamblishcu's de Anima plays an important role in the development of this new doctrine. Iamblichus' approach is best understood in the context of Plotinus' philosophy and its interpretation by Porphyry, while in the past it was reada against the background of Tertullian's own De anima.

Abstract
Post-Plotinian Platonism rejected Plotinus' doctrine of the not totally fallen soul. For philosophers of this sort, the soul by all rights does not belong to the intelligible world. To rise up to it, it must hand itself over to the power of theurgy. Iamblishcu's de Anima plays an important role in the development of this new doctrine. Iamblichus' approach is best understood in the context of Plotinus' philosophy and its interpretation by Porphyry, while in the past it was reada against the background of Tertullian's own De anima.File in questo prodotto:
