The contribution provides a very detailed analysis of the terms and concepts Plotinus employs in a section from the first chapter of treatise 32, showing how these consistently contribute to outlining the epistemological position upheld by Epicurus and rejected by Plotinus. Taormina’s contribution further engages with the debate raging in the field of Plotinian studies on whether the philosopher espoused an “internalist” conception of sense perception or an “externalist” one, suggesting the former is the case and illustrating what this entails.

Abstract
The contribution provides a very detailed analysis of the terms and concepts Plotinus employs in a section from the first chapter of treatise 32, showing how these consistently contribute to outlining the epistemological position upheld by Epicurus and rejected by Plotinus. Taormina’s contribution further engages with the debate raging in the field of Plotinian studies on whether the philosopher espoused an “internalist” conception of sense perception or an “externalist” one, suggesting the former is the case and illustrating what this entails.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
