The Eschatological Triad in the Later Neoplatonism [Spanish]
Abstract
Damascius divides his Commentary on Plato's Phaedo in three parts. The latter is dedicated to the eschatological myth, which is also divided into three parts. This descent into Hades can be read together with two other Platonic myths about the fate of the soul, that of the Gorgias and the one of Republic. In such a triadic conception Damascius is indebted to Proclus, who was the first to show interdependence between these three dialogues.
Therefore, this paper will try to expose the sense established to the myth by neo-platonic philosophers and how this myth is related to the life of the soul, since both thinkers argue that part of the life occurs in the origin, in the area of dissimilarity, in which its eschatological condition takes place.
En consecuencia, el presente trabajo ensayará de mostrar qué sentido conceden al mito los neoplatónicos y de qué manera se relaciona este con la vida del alma, ya que ambos pensadores sostienen que parte de dicha vida transcurre en la génesis, en la región de la desemejanza, en la cual se juega definitivamente su condición escatológica.
