“Plotinus, when he thinks about mind or intellect, the Greek word is 'nous', he thinks about something that's very different, it's much more elevated and special, more abstract, you might say more philosophical than the very broad range of mental events that we talk about in contemporary philosophy of mind.” ThinkingMindDifferentPhilosophyMightSpecialEventsPhilosophicalIntellectContemporaryRangeGreekAbstractBroads Author:Peter Adamson
“The idea is that to grasp an idea like equality or justice, you can't look at the equal and just or unjust things in the world around you, you have to somehow ascend to or maybe remember some kind of idea of equality and justice and this would be a Platonic form, and it would be different from the things that partake in the form.” WorldLooksKindIdeasDifferentWould BeRememberFormJusticeEqualUnjustPlatonicEquality And Justice Author:Peter Adamson
