      ABSTRACT

      In A. H Armstrong's words, all lower audacities depend on and must to a degree be judged in relation to the primary tolma of Intellect. The basic nature of tolma remains somewhat similar, notwithstanding significant differences, such as the absence in Intellect of the polupragmatic or restless principle that plagues soul. This chapter examines polupragmatic nature and unquiet power of hypostasis soul, polupragmatic nature of world soul, and polupragmatic nature and tolma of individual souls. As J. M. Rist notes, Plotinus' view, that the World Soul does not descend and that its illumination is not a moral decline, is present not merely in his polemic against the Gnostics. Taking into consideration the twofold otherness of individual souls that with respect to their parent the hypostasis soul and their progeny tolma plays a different, possibly culpable role only in the latter otherness.
