The Metaphysical Origin of the Principles of Logic in Plotinus鈥� Emanative System

Thursday March 2, 7 p.m.

Dr Mich猫le Anik Stanbury

Classics Departmental Library

The scope and utility of logical principles, particularly the principle of non-contradiction, are circumscribed. The divine Intellect is asserted to be simultaneously one and many absolutely and without qualification. 聽If there are Plotinian metaphysical realms which transcend the logical principles, but others within which they hold sway, then these principles must have a source or origin within Plotinus鈥� emanative system. 聽Dr Stanbury attempts to identify the metaphysical origin of the logical principles in the process by which the world soul emanates from the divine Intellect, focusing particularly on the implications of Ennead III.7: 聽On Eternity and Time.

This talk will be of special interest to those thinking about Augustine鈥檚 Trinitarian theology, the mystical theology of Dionysius and Bonaventure and of Nicholas of Cusa.
