6924	Plotinus was ashamed to have a body [Feuerbach]
	Full Idea: Plotinus, according to his biographers, was ashamed to have a body.
	From: Ludwig Feuerbach (Principles of Philosophy of the Future [1843], §29)
	A reaction: When Feuerbach draws our attention to this, we see what an astonishing state it is for a human being to have got into. Modern thought is appalled by it, but it also has something heroic about it, like swimming all the time because you want to be a fish.
