Abstract

BRISSON, Luc. La oposición phúsis/tékhne en Plotino.Translated byMaría Isabel Santa Cruz,  María Inés Crespo. Synthesis (La Plata) [online]. 2003, vol.10, pp.11-29. ISSN 0328-1205.

In Plotinus, one can speak neither of a "change in aesthetics" nor even of "aesthetics", in the sense in which this term is related to the various theories that try to define the conditions of possibility of value-judgements on works of art. The term was coined in the 18th century by the German philosopher Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten, although it was Kant who, in his Critique of the faculty of Judgement, was to give this discipline its definitive orientation. In the Enneads, the question of beauty presents a wholly other dimension. Beauty is the manifestation of the presence of the Intelligible to all that is inferior to it, whereas the work of art is a mere instance of this manifestation, and perhaps not even the highest one.

Keywords : Beauty; Aesthetics; Work of art; Plotinus; Plato; The Stoics.
