“…La position de l'Un, radicalement au-delà de l'être, permet, pour ainsi dire, de justifier la perfection de l'être: l'être est parfait parce qu'il est auto-constituant et porte en lui sa propre raison d'être, imitant ainsi autant qu'il est possible son principe» (Michalewski, 2012: 46). See, also: Zamora Calvo, 2016. self-sufficiency. 20 Concerning human, ethical life, therefore, in order to be one-self, one must be One, one must achieve absolute unity in the very losing of the Self, in the mystic road that is reserved for the wise and god-like life of the initiated: "This is the life of gods and of god like and blessed men, deliverance from the things of this world, a life which takes no delight in the things of this world, escapes in solitude to the solitary (phugè mónou pros mónon)" (VI.9.11, 49-51).…”

In the Western tradition, life has been defined within the idea of reflexivity and unity. These two features of life are intertwined in what I call the Bio-Theo-Political Paradigm of autarchy, in which living beings are defined primarily as self-sufficient entities. The perfect living being, thus, will be the most autarchic, one that can achieve perfect unity within its own self- referred dynamics. This perfect living being is God, and Western theology (both Greek and Christian) conceptualized God as “thought of thought”, for only the intellect can achieve a pure reflexive unity. However, Plotinus and Jean-Paul Sartre (two very different philosophers, coming from very different traditions and in very different contexts) showed the difficulties of such a definition of God. This paper aims at problematizing the Bio-Theo-Political Paradigm of autarchy by showing its inconsistency when reaching the idea of a perfect living being. In doing so, a need to rethink life and God is fostered, a need that Christian Theology in particular should face in order to build a theology of a Trinitarian living God.

Introduction:immediacy of the problem of non-being for philosophy is givenness. Parmenides’ ontology is the origin of the problem of non-being in Western-European tradition. It was Parmenides who enunciated the first conceptual idea of non-being in the history of Western-European tradition. This intention became the basis for onto-epistemological searching of philosophers of the following epochs. This paper goes to the understudied problem of reception of Parmenides’ theory of non-being in Plotinus’ henology.Materials and Methods:the problem approach is defining. Its employment is quite specific when it is referred to searching of the problem of non-being within the history of philosophy. This paper insists on the importance of a distinction of the concepts “category of non-being” and “problem of non-being” and uses the category such as “theory of non-being”. Parmenides’ theory of not-being is taken to mean as the presence of both the problem of non-being and its solution.Research findings:the key point of Eleatic theory of non-being is the dialectic of being and non-being where the following pattern is uncovered. All the characteristics of being are ontologically possible as non-being is rejected. This principle is present in Plotinus’ henology too. The authentic nature of the All is transcendental. Transcendence of the All stipulates Its apophatic in the immanence.Discussions and conclusions:the origin of Plotinus’ henology is the Platonic philosophy. The same goes for the apophatic theology of the All. However, Platonism is not the only source of Plotinus’ theory of the All. The author shows that Parmenides’ theory of non-being is one of the cores of this intention. The apophatic of non-being and the apophatic theology of the All stipulate existence itself in Parmenides’ ontology and transcendence of the All in Plotinus’ henology. This is the principle which makes it possible to state reception of Parmenides’ theory of non-being in Plotinus’ henology.
