Resumo: Starting from Plotinus’ exegesis of the Heracles myth – either an athlete of virtue or an image of the double condition of humankind – we investigate the relationship between passion, virtue, purification and pleasure. An investigation of these elements in Plotinus’ ethics opens up a valuable way of questioning the purely dualist interpretation of Plotinian anthropology. The process by which such elements relate to one another must be understood in the context of the continuum of the life of the philosopher, for whom the ultimate rule of life is the ineffable One.

Partindo da exegese plotiniana do mito de Héracles, seja como atleta da virtude, seja como imagem da dupla condição humana, trata-se de investigar a relação entre paixões, virtude, purificação e prazer. Tal investigação da relação entre esses elementos da ética plotiniana torna-se uma via privilegiada de acesso para questionar uma interpretação puramente dualista da antropologia de Plotino. O processo pelo qual tais elementos se relacionam devem ser compreendidos no continuum da vida do sábio, cuja norma última de vida é o Uno inefável.Revista HypnosHypnos Journal2011-01-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnos/article/view/249Revista Hypnos; n. 20 (2008): Das PaixõesHypnos Journal; No. 20 (2008): Das Paixões2177-53461413-9138reponame:Hypnosinstname:Faculdade de São Bento (FSB)instacron:FSBporenghttps://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnos/article/view/249/262https://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnos/article/view/249/263Copyright (c) 2011 Mauricio Pagotto Marsolainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMarsola, Mauricio Pagotto2015-09-06T01:58:53Zoai:ojs.hypnos.org.br:article/249Revistahttps://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnosPRIhttps://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnos/oairachelgazolla@gmail.com2177-53461413-9138opendoar:2023-01-13T09:46:56.183896Hypnos - Faculdade de São Bento (FSB)false
