The paper is devoted to analysis of the critique of Aristotelian theory of categories from Enneads, its main arguments and the relation of Plotinus’ theory of the kinds of sense world (kosmos aistheotos) to Aristotle’s categories. According to Plotinus, Aristotelian notion of categories is not a relevant tool of grasping the being in adequate sense, that is, as noetic being. The main argument is focused on the category of substance. There is a difference between how the problem of the kinds of beings is understood in Enn. VI 1 [42] and in Enn. VI 3 [44]. In the latter a basis for taking into account a modified form of Aristotelian categories as acceptable way of predicating of changeable sensual objects can be pointed out.

In ihrem Artikel bespricht die Verfasserin die in Enneaden enthaltene Kritik an peripatetische Theorie von Kategorien, deren Charakter, Hauptvorwürfe und das Problem der Abhängigkeit der Plotins Lehre von verschiedenen Arten der Sinneswelt (kosmos aisthetos) von der Aristotelischen Kategorie. Nach Plotin ist die Aristotelische Lehre von Kategorien kein richtiges Werkzeug dazu, das Sein in richtigem Sinne des Wortes (noetisches Sein) zu fassen. Die Hauptlinie der Kritik ist auf die Kategorie der Substanz gerichtet. Das Problem der verschiedenen Seinsarten wird in Enn. VI. 1 [42] und in Enn. VI. 3 [44] unterschiedlich betrachtet. In der letzten Stelle erscheinen die Grundlagen für eine modifizierte Form von peripatetischen Kategorien als eine akzeptable Methode des Beurteilens von wechselhaften Sinnesobjekten.

The paper is devoted to show the issue of the Difference in Plotinus’ metaphysics in the context of the relation to the One and being. The adaptation of Plato’s theory of the greatest kinds of being to the requirements of the hypostatic system of reality, especially to the articulation of the process of generation of being from the One, raises some questions, especially concerning the character of the Difference as one of πρώπα γέυη. The problem of the prenoetical status of the kind έτερότηζ is the main question discussed in this article. The Difference is heuristically useful for the explanation of the prenoetical level of being as a necessary condition for a logical description of the process of the constitution of being and activity of the One. In Enneads the description of the constitution of being doubtlessly has a dualistic character.

The article aims at illustrating an outline of Proclus’s argumentation leading to the rejection of a thesis about the evil of matter in the context of relevance of objections raised against Plotinus by Diadochus. Proclus, disposing of aporia which Plotinus’s stance is embedded in, creates difficulties instead, which the author of "Enneads" has managed to avoid. An attempt to avert the danger of dualism implies aporetic solutions and, additionally, it generates certain explanatory limitations. These difficulties seem to be the price that Diadochus pays for the axiological neutralization of the matter and apeiron, which happens together with the rejection of parallelism of relation between Good-One and plurality-evil. The existence of relative evil in the forms of parhypostases causes difficulties with the inexplicable presence of irrational elements in the universe, which remain beyond the system of causal influence. Plotinus, in turn, despite the dualistic way of explaining being as a relation of One and Indefinite Dyad (evil-matter) may maintain, which even the polemic with gnostics illustrates, that the whole reality is turned towards Good and that everything, including material universe, is essentially good due to unity. Acknowledging evil per se does not lead in "Enneads" to the devaluation of any form of entitativity, even that clearly marked by the influence of the matter.
