The subject of this article is the role of chôrismos (separation) in the philosophy of Plotinus. Its primary aim is to explore relationships between chôrismos, dialectical method and noetic knowledge. The first part of this article demonstrate metaphysical and methodological function of chôrismos, the essence of which is to establish the subject matter of metaphysics (i.e. ontos on). The second part contains an analysis of the anagogic way of a soul to self-knowledge in the context of chôrismos and Plotinus’ aretology. The third part sums up our investigations. It develops relationships, extracted in previous sections, especially connections between dialectic and functions of chôrismos.
