Abstract

 Plotinus' negation theology has rooted in the Plato's thoughts. He takes the Idea of Good beyond our mind and language. He, rejecting any restricting quality of the One, mentions that the person who takes away all things from him and does not ascribe to him any thing is doing right.Always being has a determined form, but on the other hand the One is undetermined and has not any restricted form, so He is beyond being and not-being. He is neither knowable nor describable. Plotinus apparently holds that the One is neither a thing nor a quality or quantity. He is neither a reason nor a soul, neither moving nor motionless. In a word He is beyond these distinctions.The author, drawing logical implication of this view, shows some inconsistency in Plotinus, view. If we can not know anything of the One, so we must leave any judgment about Him and must take an attitude based on the silence not on the negation. Logical consequence of Plotinus' view is leaving judgment not taking away any thing from the One which is in itself a form of judgment.
