Plotinian Soteriology
The plotinian man is located between heaven and earth, between intelligible
and sensitive; therefore, he has a celestial origin and is (ir)recoverably
penetrated by the soul. Although his birth is a contradictory and uncertain
event, a boldness and perhaps even an apostasy from All, he constantly seeks to
experience the presence of a Transcendent Good and / but inaccessible by
intellectual means. Soteriology developed by Plotinus, based on the theory of
the soul that has never descended into the body, conveys that the duty of man
is to realize the activity of the part remaining up there, so as to reach (ac)
knowledge of the intelligible and implicitly of the state of happiness that
follows this approach, linking what is divine in him, to the divine in the
universe.
