Abstract

In this paper, we intend to present an interpretation of the Plotinian´s theory of time, examining the ontological aspects of this theory. Elements of time such memory, time, eternity and ecstasy are explained. The article shows that, interpreted in this way, the time´s analysis may contribute to clarify neoplatonic´s system in Cirne Lima.
