① The metaphysic of Plotinos consists of three substances, the hen (the One), the nous, and the soul (psyche). These substances have his own some characters and have close relation each other.
This relation shows the form of proodos and epistrophe. The form of proodos comes down from the hen to the actual world and it has the ontological character and it can be explained the concept of emanatio. The hen, so to speak, is the substance in the highest stage as the abundance. The nous as the next substance emanate from this hen as the abundance, it proceeds only the hen. And the soul(psyche) as the third substance produces continue from the nous and then the matters produce from the soul.
The form of epistrophe goes back from the actual world to the hen and it can be explained the epistemological character. The soul, so to speak, is conscious the hen in the lost ourselves and then proceeds the recognition of the hen.
And this process can be explained the priority of the nous for the soul. The nous, so to speak, constitute natur of the soul as the basis and the end of that, and it produces the existence by the reflection, and it goes back to ourselves and attain to the unity with the hen.
② Marius Victorinus explains doctorin of the trinity for thinking process under Influence of Substancetheory of Plotinos.
The trinity, that is Father, Son and Spirit, is explained as a concept of esse, vita and intelligentia. The trinity acts have relation each other and they are divided into two acts by only a act at the same time. This only one spiritual substance comes up by itself and it can express coming back existence by itself by the way Marius Victorinus regards that esse as the Father, also vita as the Son and intelligentia as the spirit are contained esse as the Father. And in the substance of the Father these three things are one substance therefor three essences are one essence namely united the Father.
Hence the Father is regarded as the deity esse and basic of unity, and three substances are explained all of deity esse and he is the completed God expressed the esse, the vita and the intellegentia. And explicatio of these three concepts is kernel of content that has Trinitarianism of the very Marius Victorinus and it is the point that gives an account of putting on the thoughts of Neoplatonism.
③ Augustinus and Anselmus's study related Trinitarianism thoughts is discussed mainly in the side of the theory of knowledge. Augustinus regards Trinitarianism as the thing of the thought of human mens. This implies relation matter into the mental world that isn't change into the next and the matter about the phenomenon of the world that changes firstly.
Therefor he thinks of the attempt that Trinitarianism is deliberated deity existence by ability of human that exist phenomenon world namely it is a process that human mens proceed up to the God. And this respect explicates as the Trinitarianism thought and as the self intelligentia of the human mentality and explains in the concrete as the relation of mens-notitia-amor and memoria-intelligentia-voluntas.
Also in the Anselm Canterbury's Trinitarianism human mens as the imago dei is the self analysis doing self reflection about the God, the self naturally figurer.
His thoughts emphasize human's ratio. Ratio is not only premise of the new recognition but also premise of the human recognition, Therefor the new concept as the best truth in the human can be recognized by only ratio.
And he says in the Trinitarianism thought scheme this discussion-memoria, intelligentia, amor, and similarity and self recognition of the human mens.
And we can understand exactly the Neoplatonism tendency through the process of his discuss.
