| description | In this paper, I aim to delve into Plotinus' ideas regarding an eros that permeates physis, shedding light on the concept of a magical force (goéteia) which he associates with eros, declaring it as the ultimate magician (IV, 4 [28], 40). To establish the foundation of this erotic magic, the pivotal notion of psykhé will be explored, along with an intricate examination of the Soul's hypostasis and its manifold characteristics, which serve as significant focal points within this paper. Subsequently, I will elucidate how humans become ensnared in this magical force when they fail to direct their attention towards their origin. This occurs when one neglects to engage in their most suitable activity, namely the contemplation of higher beings such as Intellect and the One/Good. Conversely, by actively embracing contemplation, individuals liberate themselves from the allure of the natural world's erotic magic. |
