The Source of All Things

Plotinus says that the more unity something has, the more reality it has. He points out in this same passage that good conditions like health and beauty are also cases of unity. These considerations lead Plotinus to an inescapable conclusion. If we are looking for the source of all things, we should be looking for a source of unity that is itself maximally one. It will Also be the source of goodness, beauty, harmony, and order.
