The framework of the exercise is Plotinus' belief that the One is already present in the human soul and its consciousness, but remains unnoticed. The deictic exercise, analyzed on the basis of two texts: Enn. 6.5.12 and Enn. 5.5.7–10, is designed to show to the disciple the One as a part of normal, everyday consciousness, which is the ground of everything that exists and makes it knowable. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Classical Philology is the property of University of Chicago Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
