La puissance inquiète

Abstract

This note analyses a parallel between the dynamis of Enn. VI.3 (44).23 and of Enn. III.7. (45).11, connected to the restlessly nature of motion, and develops the following hypothesis: even if Plotinus explicitly asserts, at the opening of Enn. VI.3 (44), that the soul will be excluded from the present investigation devoted to the nature of sensible motion, he nevertheless refers to it, when he examines in Enn. VI.3 (44).23 the dynamis from which the actuality of sensible motion proceeds.
