  Schopenhauer (MVR1:358-361) – a morte

  21 de setembro, por Cardoso de Castro

  Nascimento e morte pertencem exclusivamente ao fenômeno da Vontade, logo, à vida, à qual é essencial expor-se em indivíduos, os quais nascem e perecem.
  Como a Vontade é a coisa-em-si, o conteúdo íntimo, o essencial do mundo, e a vida, o mundo visível, o fenômeno, é seu espelho; segue-se daí que este mundo acompanhará a Vontade tão inseparavelmente quanto a sombra acompanha o corpo. Onde existe Vontade, existirá vida, mundo. Portanto, à Vontade de vida a vida é certa, e, pelo tempo em (...)

  Plotino (Enéada V, 4, 1) – Do Primeiro

  14 de setembro, por Cardoso de Castro

  V. 4.1: Mantendo-se diante de todas as coisas, deve existir um Simples ...
  Armstrong
  1. If there is anything after the First, it must necessarily come from the First; it must either come from it directly or have its ascent hack to it through the beings between, and there must be an order of seconds and thirds, the second going back to the first and the third to the second. For there must be something simple before all things, and this must be other than all the things which come after (...)

  Plotino (Enéada V, 1, 8) – Do Uno

  V.1.8: Esta é a explicação da Triplicidade de Platão...
  Armstrong
  8. This is the reason why Plato says that all things are threefold “ about the king of all ”—he means the primary realities—and “ the second about the second and the third about the third But he also says that there is a “ father of the cause ”, meaning Intellect by “ the cause”: for Intellect is his craftsman ; and he says that it makes Soul in that “ mixing-bowl ” he speaks of. And the father of Intellect which is the (...)

  Plotino (Enéada V, 1, 10) – Do Uno

  V.1.10: Há um Princípio que transcende Ser...
  Armstrong
  10. It has been shown that we ought to think that this is how things are, that there is the One beyond being, of such a kind as our argument wanted to show, so far as demonstration was possible in these matters, and next in order there is Being and Intellect, and the nature of Soul in the third place. And just as in nature there are these three of which we have spoken, so we ought to think that they are present also in ourselves. (...)

  Damiani (Enneads:731-737) – The System of Nature

  14 de setembro, por Cardoso de Castro

  This, the sensible universe, is the primordial scripture, the vision referred to, and as such it embodies the wisdom of the primal principles which are beyond it. Who has not thrilled to the excitement of the starry skies—the silent unanswered questions?
  The entire universe, including all levels and all possible worlds, is the body of God manifested within Soul. For Plotinus, this is the system of Nature. Our universe as thus conceived is not inert matter, nor is it an illusion:
  ... (...)

  Damiani (Enneads:726-730) – Soul

  14 de setembro, por Cardoso de Castro

  Soul as a continuous essence can be pictured as a ring passing through the four levels of substantial intelligence represented by the four quadrants.
  Our venerable friend and guide reveals that he has penetrated into the mysteries of soul, its greatness and wonder, its graded powers and divinity. This is not a knowledge by acquaintance—the intellect’s capacity for remembering created concepts—but a knowledge that goes beyond the imagination’s formulation of thoughts, beyond even the (...)

  Damiani (Enneads:720-725) – Intellectual-Principle

  13 de setembro, por Cardoso de Castro

  Out of the ocean of infinite possibilities present in the ineffable undifferenced intelligence of the One, there pours forth a radiant display of glorious revelations— the Divine Mind and its Ideas. These luminous existences, emanating on the surface of the One’s voidness, exhibit the inner nature, the inherent perfection of the unique and unknowable God.
  The power of the One is so great that the Divine Mind [Intellectual-Principle], though an “image One,” is itself authentic (...)

  Damiani (Enneads:712-720) – The One

  13 de setembro, por Cardoso de Castro

  In seeking by means of these passages a glimpse of the incomprehensible nature of the One, the intellect must be like a bird which in flying through the air leaves no trace: the intellect’s operation must dissolve back into the stillness into which it is advancing. We must think very intensely on what the nature of the One is, and then there is a point at which you let go of everything. But do not think that the discussions of this are pointless, for the One is the only important thing you (...)

  Nietzsche (Obra) – Vontade de Poder

  11 de setembro, por Cardoso de Castro

  Obra de Nietzsche, em grande parte na versão de Paulo César de Souza
  Muitos países viu Zaratustra, e muitos povos: assim descobriu o bem e o mal de muitos povos. Zaratustra não achou maior poder na terra do que bem e mal. Nenhum povo poderia viver sem antes avaliar; mas, querendo se manter, não pode avaliar como seu vizinho. Muito do que esse povo considerava bom, outro considerava infâmia e escárnio: eis o que achei. Muito achei que aqui era denominado mau, e ali era coberto de honras (...)

  Nietzsche (Obra) – Eterno Retorno

  11 de setembro, por Cardoso de Castro

  Obra de Nietzsche, em grande parte na versão de Paulo César de Souza
  2. Mal dissera essas palavras, Zaratustra caiu como um morto e por muito tempo ficou como um morto. Quando voltou a si, estava pálido, tremia, permaneceu deitado no chão e por muito tempo não quis comer ou beber. Nesse estado ficou sete dias; mas seus animais não o abandonaram nem de dia nem de noite, exceto a águia, quando voou para buscar alimento. E o que ela apanhou e saqueou, pôs sobre o leito de Zaratustra: de (...)
