ZAMORA CALVO *, José María. ¿Cómo elevarse a lo divino? Sobre las últimas palabras de Plotino. Synthesis (La Plata) [online]. 2018, vol.25, n.1, pp.11-12. ISSN 0328-1205.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/1851779xe032.

Plotinus’ last words uttered to his physician and disciple Eustochius (V.P. 2.25-27) are an exhortation to philosophy, expressed as a last piece of advice, which connects with the Platonic theme of the ascent and return of the soul. It is necessary to flee from the world here to the world over there, to return, like Odysseus, to the true homeland. In the Plotinian architecture, the three divine hypostases as well as constituting the structure of the transcendent reality are also latently present in man. How to explain in words that effort to elevate what is divine in us to what is divine in the universe? Beyond Eustochius, the only immediate recipient, this exhortation-recommendation extends to all humanity.

Palabras clave : Plotinus’ life; Porphyry; soul; the divine; anagoge.
