First, it accounts for the indirect transmission of the Enneads throughout Medieval times and the editions that reappears in the Renaissance. In this regard, it discusses the presence and influence of Plotinian ideas on Medieval thinkers. Secondly, it examines some main points of Plotin’s thought –the three hypostases and a single universe– and thirdly, presents the profound coincidences between Plotin and Nicholas of Cusa’s ideas, analyzing the pairings enfolding-unfolding, uncontracted-contracted. Finally, it considers the possibility of reuniting both lines in a Grand Unified Theory that goes through all the Middle Ages. Este artículo trabaja la presencia plotiniana en la Edad Media y el Renacimiento. En primer término, se presenta el movimiento de transmisión indirecta de las Enéadas a lo largo de la Edad Media y las ediciones que resurgen en el Renacimiento. En esta línea, se discute precisamente la presencia e influencia de las ideas plotinianas en pensadores medievales. En segundo término, se despliegan ciertas notas nucleares del pensamiento de Plotino –las tres hipóstasis y un solo universo– para luego, en tercer término, exponer las profundas coincidencias que pueden encontrarse en la estructura del pensamiento de Nicolás de Cusa –con el estudio del lenguaje de los binomios complicación-explicación, incontracto-contracto. Finalmente, se considera la posibilidad de incluir a ambos autores en una Gran Teoría Unificada que se despliega a lo largo de la Edad Media. application/pdf application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/7309 10.34096/petm.v40.n2.7309 spa eng Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/7309/6558 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/7309/6559 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol. 40 Núm. 2 (2019); 5-43 2683-9636 Plotino Nicolás de Cusa enéadas hipóstasis universo Plotin Nicholas of Cusa enneads hypostases universe The Partial Eclipse of Plotinus in the Middle Ages and his Recovery in the Renaissance The Partial Eclipse of Plotinus in the Middle Ages and his Recovery in the Renaissance info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=patris&d=7309_oai
