Resumo(s)
Neste trabalho traduzimos do grego antigo e comentamos o tratado VI.7 [38] das Enéades de Plotino. A partir do comentário do texto plotiniano, argumentamos que o fenómeno religioso é um factor indissociável de toda a especulação apresentada; fazendo recurso ao texto, tornamos evidente que intuições religiosas básicas estruturam as principais resoluções metafísicas do autor, ao mesmo tempo que estas por sua vez determinam os principais vectores das decisões éticas de uma proposta que é demasiadas vezes criticamente opaca. Mostramos como a estrutura fundamental que arvora a proposta teórica de Plotino manifesta padrões teóricos bem visíveis e que são evidência de mecanismos possíveis de reconhecer através de um trabalho aplicado de Ciência Cognitiva. Partindo de uma perspectiva estritamente naturalista e evolucionista, este estudo concentra-se na explicação da teoria do Uno exposta no tratado analisado, mostrando que neste dispositivo teórico se combina uma ontologia intuitiva básica com as categorias ontológicas elementares e violações de expectativas fundamentais para a saliência da nebulosa de conceitos, articulada a partir daqui. Equilibrado entre o peso teórico e a saliência conceptual, o ideário estruturado ao longo do texto analisado emerge organizado numa constelação de sentido que nos remete para a conclusão de que na arquitectura conceptual do tratado, a causalidade vertical avançada, bem como a ideia de uma realidade hierarquicamente organizada de um ponto de vista onto-teológico, são expressão viva de sistemas cognitivos de inferência animados por uma lógica própria que na verdade explica não só a anatomia fundamental da nebulosa conceptual proposta pelo filósofo, mas também, e de igual modo, o inegável sucesso com que alguns dispositivos culturais recriados por Plotino se reproduziram ao longo da história do pensamento filosófico universal.
In this paper we have translated from ancient Greek and commented on treatise VI.7 [38] of the Enneads of Plotinus. Starting from the commentary on Plotinus’s text, we argue that the religious phenomenon is a factor which is inseparable from all the speculation presented; using the text, we demonstrate that basic religious intuitions structure the author’s key metaphysical resolutions, while these in turn determine the main drivers of the ethical decisions of a proposal that is too often critically opaque. We show how the essential structure that raises Plotinus’s theoretical proposal expresses clearly visible theoretical standards which are indicative of mechanisms it is possible to recognize by engaging in some diligent work with Cognitive Science. Starting from a strictly naturalistic and evolutionist perspective, this study focuses on explaining the theory of the One discussed in the treatise under analysis. We show that the theoretical device advanced by Plotinus combines a basic intuitive ontology with elementary ontological categories and violations of fundamental expectations. Balanced between theoretical weight and conceptual relevance, the ideology structured across the text under analysis emerges organized a constellation of meaning that leads us to the conclusion that in the conceptual architecture of the treatise, the vertical causality it puts forward, as well as the idea of a reality organized hierarchically from an onto-theological point of view, are true expressions of cognitive inference systems animated by their own particular logic that actually explains not only the fundamental anatomy of the conceptual nebula proposed by the philosopher, but also, and in equal measure, the undeniable success with which some cultural devices recreated by Plotinus have been reproduced throughout the history of universal philosophical thought.
