Metriopatheia And Apatheia: Some Reflections On A Controversy In Later Greek Ethics, John M. Dillon
Metriopatheia And Apatheia: Some Reflections On A Controversy In Later Greek Ethics, John M. Dillon
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
The controversy about metriopatheia and apatheia, which generated such heat in later Greek philosophy, is one between the concept of a bipartite or tripartite soul, in which the lower part of parts can never be eradicated - at least while the soul is in the body - but must constantly be chastised.

Plotinus And The Value Of The Human Person, John M. Rist
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
Plotinus' views on man and his value must be closely related to his views of the One. His first principle is radically different from that of the Platonists, Aristotelians, and Stoics who precede him. In many respects, as in all other areas of his thought, his conception is a synthesis of what went before, but it cannot be overemphasized that it is a new conception, a dynamic first principle whose character as efficient cause is to be viewed in terms of Eros and of will as much as of mind and knowledge.
