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.
