  Article:   THE MEANING OF THE NOERON TERM OF PLOTINUS AND THE ONE- MULTIPLE IDEA.

Authors:  ANDREI BERESCHI. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  The main intention our study is to explore the meaning of the term noeron in the Enneads of Plotinus, having as purpose to prove that we may have in the specific case of this notion a sistematic and a tehnical use. The results of our analysis would permite a whole new vision upon the medium level of Plotinus’ sistem, that of the Pure Intelligence, and its relation with the Supreme One. The modern translations of the Enneads are very much inclined to pass over the specificity of the term noeron. Usually they reduce its signification to noeton, another term from its linguistic formation that has many instances in Plotinus as well. The distinction is indeed of some importance for the understanding of the so-called "plotinian system".
