Il carcere, la tomba, il fango. Sulla fortuna di alcune immagini da Platone all’età di Plotino

The essay discusses the hostility toward the sensible world and the body displayed by the Platonic tradition and its many heirs. The first part focuses on some aspects of Plato’s treatment of the soul and their reception in some philosophical and religious texts written between the 1st century BC and the 3rd century AD, with particular attention to Plotinus’ Enneads. The second part attempts to show how, in the Platonic tradition and especially in Plotinus, such hostility coexisted – in a profoundly problematic way – with a positive attitude toward this world, thereby generating a number of unresolved tensions and difficulties.
