Martin, De Blassi 2020-11-30 From a topological and not only historiographic point of view, taking into account the textual hermeneutics derived from the Enneads, this paper aims to clarify that Plotinus’ thought represents the first rationally satisfactory response to the unprecedented historical irruption of the principle on the absolute difference, already established by the Gospel according to Saint John. The transcendence of the One-Good shows another historical and philosophical field that no longer belongs to the Greek way of understanding the metaphysical nature of truth. In Plotinus, the truth takes the form of an operatio because it instills in the soul a love that attracts her towards infinite union. This notion of truth is closer to the contributions made after Plotinus and therefore it constitutes a solvent starting point for further theological reflection on divine transcendence and the causal dependence of the entity in the order of being. To achieve the purposes, a descriptive and analytical record is used, along with a critical reading of both the sources and the specialized bibliography. Desde el punto de vista no solo historiográfico sino también topológico, atendiendo a la hermenéutica textual que se desprende de las Enéadas, este trabajo pretende mostrar que el pensamiento de Plotino representa la primera respuesta racionalmente satisfactoria a la irrupción histórica sin precedentes del principio de la diferencia absoluta, establecido ya en el Evangelio según San Juan. La trascendencia del Uno-Bien evidencia otro ámbito histórico y filosófico que no pertenece ya al modo griego de comprender la naturaleza metafísica de la verdad. En Plotino, la verdad cobra la forma de una operatio, pues ella infunde en el alma un amor que la mueve hacia la unión infinita. Esta noción de la verdad se aproxima más a las contribuciones posteriores a Plotino y constituye, por ende, un punto de partida solvente para la reflexión teológica ulterior sobre la trascendencia divina y la dependencia causal del ente en el orden del ser. Para el logro de los fines propuestos, se utiliza un registro descriptivo y analítico, junto con una lectura crítica tanto de las fuentes como de la bibliografía especializada. application/pdf application/pdf text/html text/html http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/9372 10.34096/petm.v41.n2.9372 spa fra Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/9372/8208 http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/9372/8209 http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/9372/8220 http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/9372/8221 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol 41 No 2 (2020); 23-70 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol. 41 Núm. 2 (2020); 23-70 2683-9636 0325-2280 absolute difference Gospel of St. John self Plotinus diferencia absoluta Evangelio según San Juan sí mismo Plotino The Topological Connection between Plotinus and the Gospel of John on the Metaphysics of the Absolute Transcendence La liaison topologique entre Plotin et l’Évangile selon Saint Jean à propos de la métaphysique sur la transcendance absolue info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=patris&d=9372_oai
