Art as a conceptual or intellectual activity is, thus, dissociated from a sensible appreciation of beauty. Plotinus' metaphysics of the beauty challenges this separation between intellect and beauty by referring beauty to the perception of what is intelligible in the sensible. Accordingly, the thesis of this paper is that Plotinus' metaphysics of the beauty illuminates social and political aspects of art that are of interest for understanding some important trends of contemporary art. In order to support this thesis, I will analyze Plotinus' account of the relation between the sensible and the intelligible, and the concepts of participation and imitation as they appear in Enneads I 6&#91;1&#93; and VI 4 &#91;22&#93;. Finally, I will refer to Richard Box's Fields of Light (2003) as an instance that clarifies this thesis.]]></p></abstract>

De esta manera, el arte como actividad conceptual se ha desvinculado de la apreciación sensible de la belleza. La metafísica de lo bello en Plotino desafía esta distinción entre intelecto y belleza en tanto que refiere lo bello a la percepción de lo que es inteligible en lo sensible. De acuerdo con esto, la tesis de este artículo es que la metafísica de lo bello en Plotino ilumina aspectos sociales y políticos del arte que son de interés para comprender algunas tendencias importantes del arte contemporáneo. Para sustentar esta tesis, analizaré la explicación plotiniana de la relación entre lo sensible y lo inteligible, y los conceptos de participación e imitación que aparecen en las Enéadas I 6&#91;1&#93; y VI 4 &#91;22&#93;.
