Abstract

In PLOTINUS Philosophical system of the world we can see three hypostases which result from each other vertically. They include: the One, the intellect, and THE SOUL.There are various views concerning the genesis of the world, such as the theory of creation, which is suggested by holy books, the theory of theophany and manifestation, which belongs to gnostics, and the theory of EMANATION, in which most philosophers believe.Concerning the genesis of the world, PLOTINUS believed in EMANATION.This word is derived from the Latin word "emanatio", meaning eruption from somewhere. According to PLOTINUS, the One is not the creator of the world so that He could create voluntarily. The world is the overflow of Divine springing. The One cannot create the world according to His free will because creation is a kind of activity, and attributing an act to God disrupts His Stability and is, therefore, a mistake. Thus PLOTINUS resorted to the metaphor of "emanation". He believed that God does not decrease by being emanated. He tried to follow a middle way between MONOTHEISTIC CREATION, on the one hand, and pantheism, on the other.
