In this book, Joseph Torchia, OP, explores the mid-rank of the soul
theme in Plotinus and Augustine with a special focus on its
metaphysical, epistemological, and moral implications for each
thinker's intellectual outlooks. For both, human existence assumes
the character of a prolonged journey-or, in the nautical imagery
they both employ, an extended voyage. Augustine's account
incorporates theological significance, addressing the ontological
difference between God and creatures. As a rational creature, the
soul stands mid-way between God and corporeal natures and, in
broader terms, between eternity and temporality. Plotinus and
Augustine on the Mid-Rank of Soul: Navigating Two Worlds
encompasses two parts: Part I addresses the significance that
Plotinus attributes to the soul's mid-rank within the broader
context of his understanding of universal order, and Part II
delineates Augustine's interpretation of the intermediary status of
the soul with an ongoing reference to his spiritual and
intellectual peregrinatio, as recounted in the Confessions.
