Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Plotinus (c. 204/5- 270) was preoccupied with the question if what is called in philosophy ‘individuals’ exists; he connects the existence of these metaphysical ‘entities’ to that of ‘particulars’. He provides an account of sensible particulars which trace the individual nature of each distinct being (especially that of the individual human being) back to the causal power of the First Principle of soul and logos.
As one can see, Plotinus regards the nature of each individual as dependent on incorporeal sources. He does not provide in the end a definite conclusion to the issue whether there are any ideas of particulars individual. But will affirm that each individual is capable to ascend to the Intellect.
