Platão e sua tradição

agénêtos: não gerado, incriado (universo)

ágnôstos: desconhecido, não cognoscível

1. Devido à transcendência de Deus surgem alguns problemas acerca da possibilidade de este ser um objecto de conhecimento. Um agnosticismo simples é defendido por Protágoras (Diels, frg. 80B 4) onde a questão se subdivide em duas: a de saber se os deuses existem e a de qual é a sua natureza; o problema da agnosia trata, mais propriamente, do último aspecto (sobre a questão da sua existência, cf. theos).

Enéada I — Tratado I — 1
MacKenna: THE ANIMATE AND THE MAN.

1. Pleasure and distress, fear and courage, desire and aversion, where have these affections and experiences their seat?

Clearly, either in the Soul alone, or in the Soul as employing the body, or in some third entity deriving from both. And for this third entity, again, there are two possible modes: it might be either a blend or a distinct form due to the blending.

And what applies to the affections applies also to whatsoever acts, physical or mental, spring from them.
