Resumen
Tras unas observaciones generales sobre el proceder exegético de Plotino y su concepción de la realidad, se procura mostrar cómo la naturaleza, función inferior del alma, produce espontáneamente, por su sola contemplación, gracias a los principios formales que recibe del alma superior y que proyecta sobre la materia para dar forma y vida a lo sensible. Plotino rechaza el modelo técnico como explicación de la producción natural y critica el arte mimético: pero naturaleza y arte parten ambas de un principio racional. Si en la naturaleza ese principio es interno, en el arte se requiere la intermediación del artífice, que lo concibe en su mente. La belleza es siempre inteligible y los productos de la naturaleza y los del arte son bellos, no por su materialidad, sino por la forma que se impone sobre el sustrato.
After some general remarks on Plotinus's exegesis and his conception of reality, this article aims to show how nature, the lower function of the soul, produces spontaneously by contemplation, in virtue of the formal principles that it receives from the higher soul and projects on matter to give form and life to the sensible. Plotinus rejects the technical model as an explanation of natural production and criticizes mimetic art; but both nature and real art start from a rational principle. While this principle is in nature internal, in art it is external and requires the intermediation of the artist, who conceives it in his mind. Beauty is always intelligible and the products of nature and those of art are beautiful, not because of their materiality, but because of the form that is imposed on the substrate.
