内容简介

肯尼思·格思里所译普罗提诺四卷本之第一卷:语料库中的另一种版本。

背景与流传

普罗提诺公元三世纪在罗马讲学,写作并非为了出版;他的学生波菲利在他去世后收集其文稿,编为六组、每组九篇——“九章集”(Enneads)之名即由此而来;这一编次并非普罗提诺自己的。他的哲学自柏拉图出发而更进一步:由超乎存在与思维之上的“太一”流溢出“心智”,由心智流溢出“灵魂”,由灵魂流溢出可感世界;而人的灵魂能够循此路回溯向上——波菲利说,他的老师曾四次做到。整个新柏拉图主义由此而出,奥古斯丁、狄奥尼修斯、阿拉伯诸哲、菲奇诺与文艺复兴皆经由它。读者请注意:本目录收有同一批材料的两种英译本——《Select Works of Plotinus》(托马斯·泰勒译)与四卷本《Plotinos Complete Works》(肯尼思·格思里译)——译文与编次都不同;而《An Essay on the Beautiful》即《九章集》I.6,两个本子里都有。这并非错误:它们是同一作者的不同版本。引用时必须注明所用何本,最好并注明九章集的卷次与篇次。

这是编辑性背景,不是可引用的来源:与作品本身的段落不同,这些说明无法在语料库中核对。

开篇
By PORPHYRY. (_Written when about 70 years of age, see 23._) I. PLOTINOS, LIKE PORPHYRY, DESPISED HIS PHYSICAL NATURE, BUT A PICTURE OF HIM WAS SECURED. Plotinos the philosopher, who lived recently, seemed ashamed of having a body. Consequently he never spoke of his family or home (Lycopolis, now Syout, in the Thebaid, in Egypt). He never would permit anybody to perpetuate him in a portrait or statue. One day that Amelius[1] begged him to allow a painting to be made of him, he said, "Is it not enough for me to have to carry around this image[2], in which nature has enclosed us? Must I besides transmit to posterity the image of this image as worthy of attention?" As Amelius never succeeded in getting Plotinos to reconsider his refusal, and to consent to give a sitting, Amelius begged his friend Carterius, the most famous painter of those times, to attend Plotinos's lectures, which were free to all. By dint of gazing at Plotinos, Carterius so filled his own imagination with Plotinos's features that he succeeded in painting them from memory. By his advice, Amelius directed Carterius in these labors, so that this portrait was a very good likeness. All this occurred without the knowledge of Plotinos. II. SICKNESS AND DEATH OF PLOTINOS; HIS BIRTHDAY UNKNOWN. Plotinos was subject to chronic digestive disorders; nevertheless, he never was willing to take any remedies, on the plea that it was unworthy of a man of his age to relieve himself by such means. Neither did he ever take any of the then popular "wild animal remedy," because, said he, he did not even eat the flesh of domestic animals, let alone that of savage ones. He never bathed, contenting himself, with daily massage at home. But when at the period of the plague, which was most virulent,[3] the man who rubbed him died of it, he gave up the massage.…
