Plotinos: Complete Works, v. 4 In Chronological Order,...

PARTICULAR AND UNIVERSAL PROVIDENCE ASSUMED AS PREMISES.

Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition Plotinus and Guthrie, Kenneth Sylvan
Open passage
Let us leave aside this individual providence, which consists in deliberating before an action, and in examining whether we should or should not do something, or whether we should give or not give it. We shall also assume the existence of the universal Providence, and from this principle we shall deduce the consequences.

EPICURUS TAUGHT CHANCE AND THE GNOSTICS AN EVIL CREATOR. PROVIDENCE IS NOT PARTICULAR BECAUSE THE WORLD HAD NO BEGINNING.
