Following the direction indicated by L. Samonà of a “metaphysical retraction", this essay is dedicated to the theme of the plotinian One. The first principle of Plotinus, which is already identified in the line of Platonic-Aristotelian retraction, is here considered as an opportunity for metaphysical recovery, so as to show its intense vitality and boundless magnanimity. Here is considered the power of philosophy to investigate the origin and the power of the origin to constitute itself as a beginning. These two powers have similar characteristics: in freedom, in liberality, in the position of self and in absolute openness as the intimate identity of the one with the other. In contrast to the interpretation of the One as a figure of necessity and monadicity, here is proposed a hermeneutics of the First Plotinian as a freely creative source, as an inexhaustible power that unites the many. The theme of divine self-origination is retraced in a pareysonian key and through a comparison with Vedic and Platonic protology and opens up by showing the assumption of communion of all in principle. These hermeneutical gains lead to a non-sacrifical reading of the search for self, understood not as renunciation but as generosity and fullness of life. |
