Plotinus and the Emotions of the Portico
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this paper we explore the integration of the Plotinian theory of emotions from the rehabilitation of the sensory organ. From this perspective, the soul is disturbed by the abundance of sensations and emotions are considered activities of the soul, which are experienced when the soul becomes aware of the states of the body. But, as in the case of sensation, the soul is not affected by the emotions of the body. In order to live virtuously, the soul knows how to tame the irrational affections coming from the body, with the intellectual level of the soul exercising full control over the emotions.
