Epicurus’ gods are beautiful, their bodies’ particles are diaphanous, and the images they send forth. Plotinus does not seem embarassed by this view of gods which does not interfere with men’s affairs, but condemns the absence of Providence. The Epicurus’ sageness consists to prefer the pleasure, what is accepted by Plotinus, until he said that true happiness is good. Matter formed of atoms, and emptiness, the composed, are not convenient to Plotinus. Sensation will prove some nearness with the theory of eidola.
