 For Plotinus, wrongdoing is involuntary, because it is always due to ignorance, but the evil person is still its cause (Enn. III.2[47].10). The wrongdoer is not culpable for what they do, but they still suffer two sorts of punishments—although these punishments might better be called “consequences”. The first penalty they pay for their wrongdoing is becoming evil, which is bad for them (Enn. III.2[47].4; III.2[47].8; cf. Plato, Laws 728b-c). Secondly, our behavior in this life will have an impact on how we will fare in our future lives. Plotinus believes in a cycle of reincarnation in which past wrongs lead to future suffering (Enn. III.2[47].12). Furthermore, the choices a person makes within this life will determine the sort of animal (or plant) they are reincarnated as, with those who maintain the human level becoming humans once again, whereas those dominated by passions or appetites reincarnated as an appropriate sort of animal or plant (Enn. III.4[15].2).
