The religions with all the philosophical doctrines are met in Alexan-dria in Plotinos area. The Neo-Platonism philosophers undertake the coupling of Greek spirit with the spirit of East, that is the philosophy with the religion, and they place the bases of the irrationalism. Plotinos, the founder of Neo-Platonism, created an entire philoso-phy system with the ontology and his ethics. Plotinos supports that all emanate from the En, which through the system of flows, forms the Mind, which as emanation forms his third substance the Soul. TheMatter, that is not substance, is the fourth and most minimum limit in the cathode scale from the En.The objective of a person, his utmost aim, is the ascent to the En, through purgation and his return in the gulves of his One, the Good, and the First Beginning. This objective is carried out in three stages: a) purga-tion of soul through political and moral virtues b) the purgation of soul through the philosophy and the dialectic and c) the brilliancy or ecstasy of the soul and its direct contact with the En.According to Plotinos, dialectic is a method, a practice, an art, a way that takes the soul to the En and it can be used only by the harmonic, the erotic or the philosopher. Plotinos identifies the dialectic with the philosophy or with the best part, of it, with the science that determines the things, the being and the not being, the good and the not good, the eternal and the not eternal with out personal beliefs. Finally he announces Egelos' dialectic as follows: he shows as a place the unit of being, as opposition his multi-plicity and as synthesis his reunification with the En, through the ecstasy.
