Plotinus is generally recognized as the founder and the most important figure of neoplatonic current. The aim of this conference is to provide proves of the influence of his texts upon western philosophy. Papers may deal with long time discussed topics (such as, but not restricted to, plotinian metaphysics, the theory of the soul etc.), as well as new research interests (logic, philosophy of science or plotinian ethics). Historical-philosophical approach may be developed on a wide area of subjects from plotinian reconstruction of some platonic, aristotelian and stoic doctrines or the relation between Plotinus and accademic neoplatonism to the influence of the Enneads on some christian thinkers (St. Augustine, Boethius and Arab thinkers) or on some Renaissance and XVII-th century intellectuals. |
