Synopsis

Le traite 19 Sur les vertus (Enneades I, 9), sans en etre une presentation complete, est un des textes les plus importants consacres par Plotin a l’ethique. Ce texte a aussi exerce, directement et indirectement, une grande influence sur la pensee ethique dans l’antiquite tardive, a Byzance, en terre d’Islam, et dans le Moyen Age latin. Comment l’homme peut-il s’assimiler, dans sa vie, a une vie divine grace aux vertus? A cette question Plotin apporte une reponse originale en distinguant deux sortes d’assimilation et deux sortes de vertus. La conception d’une assimilation asymetrique permet d’envisager une vie de l’homme assimilee par la vertu a la vie d’une divinite qui transcende la vertu. La distinction que fait Plotin entre vertu politique et vertu superieure, distinction nouvelle, articule la mise en ordre et la gestion des desirs, des plaisirs et des souffrances que peut apporter la raison de l’homme, ainsi que la dependance de la raison d’une connaissance inspiree par un intellect divin transcendant. Sont ainsi poses les jalons de ce que sera, chez les successeurs de Plotin, la theorie d’une hierarchie des vertus. Dans ce traite, Plotin discute aussi de la purification morale de l’ame, du possible dans le perfectionnement de l’homme, de la gestion des affects corporels et de l’irrationnel, des liens qui lient les vertus entre elles. Le commentaire cherche a completer le traite en citant d’autres textes de Plotin et en le situant dans le cadre des grandes theories ethiques de l’antiquite, notamment celles de Platon, Aristote, d’Epicure et des stoiciens.
