Plotinian Mereology. Study of the Relationship between Wholes and Parts in Plotinus’ Philosophy
As a Platonist, Plotinus considers the human being to be composed of a body and a soul. While the human being is traditionally thought of as part of the world, Plotinus considers that he is also part of another world: the intelligible one. My thesis project aims to determine what is the exact meaning of this new sense of "part" that Plotinus introduces. In order to do so I first study what it means for him to be part of the sensible world, before turning to the intelligible world (for souls are not the only intelligible "parts" for Plotinus). Finally, my work focuses on the status of the human being between these two worlds, both of which are characterized as totalities. This conception of the human being as torn between two worlds provides Plotinus with a particularly powerful interpretation of Platonic anthropology.
