Platonists beginning in the Old Academy itself and up to and
including Plotinus struggled to understand and articulate the
relation between Plato's Demiurge and the Living Animal which
served as the model for creation. The central question is whether
"contents" of the Living Animal, the Forms, are internal to the
mind of the Demiurge or external and independent. For Plotinus, the
solution depends heavily on how the Intellect that is the Demiurge
and the Forms or intelligibles are to be understood in relation to
the first principle of all, the One or the Good. The treatise V.5
[32] sets out the case for the internality of Forms and argues for
the necessary existence of an absolutely simple and transcendent
first principle of all, the One or the Good. Not only Intellect and
the Forms, but everything else depends on this principle for their
being.
