Group #4 – Section 17.
Today we have discussed Plotinus and many others.
Plotinus was a major Greek philosopher of the ancient world. In his system of theory there are the three principles: the One, the Intellect, and the Soul. His teacher was Ammonius Saccas and he is of the Platonic tradition. Historians of the 19th century invented the term Neoplatonism and applied it to him and his philosophy which was influential in Late Antiquity. Much of the biographical information about Plotinus comes from Porphyry's preface to his edition of Plotinus' Enneads. His metaphysical writings have inspired centuries of Pagan, Christian, Jewish, Islamic and Gnostic metaphysicians and mystics.
Discussion Question:
Plotinus creation of Aeoplotunism is said to be one of the must important events in philosophical and religious history. Do you agree or disagree?
QUESTION: In your opinion - does nothing exist, has it ever existed, can it ever exist?
MY ANSWER: Hardly, since if nothing existed you could not ask the question. Therefore, since you asked the question, something exists.
Personal Note:
Man created God in his image : intolerant, sexist, homophobic and violent.

No, nothing does not exist! Everything is something... If you dont think so even when you say you are doing nothing you are lying you are breathing, talking, and even thinking.... It is impossible to do nothing.
ReplyDeleteI agree with William. Everything out there exists...There is absolutely no such thing as nothing.
