Abstract
The article examines Origen's doctrine of the soul, with the main aim to show its continuity with the relationship between soul and spirit as established and developed by the school of Valentinus, and more specifically by Gospel of Truth 34, 20-34. By means of an in-depth analysis of the philosophical background implied by such theologoumenon with special reference to Platonic and Stoic interpretations, this paper attempts to trace anew the historically complex connection between the notions of "cold" and "soul", and "hot" and "spirit". As a result, the Valentinian doctrine of the cooled soul is identified as the prime source for Origen's doctrine as decreibed in Prin II, 8.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
