Yamblicus's Criticism of Platinus

Platinus believed that every soul remains connected to the intelligible realm at all times. Yamblicus has no quarrel with Aristotle's claim, but as always he wants us to raise our minds to a higher level. There are not only lower divinities, like the heavenly gods we've already mentioned, but also lesser supernatural beings like demons and heroes,. better than humans, but worse than gods.
