Plotinus' Philosophy: The Role of Unity in Defining Existence
Plotinus asserts that the essence of being lies in unity. He posits that unity is fundamental to the existence of all things, whether primal or secondary. Without unity, a thing loses its essence, ceasing to be what it is. This concept applies to various entities, from armies to continuous magnitudes. Plotinus emphasizes that to be recognized as a distinct entity, unity is essential. He illustrates this with examples like a marching band, highlighting how unity defines the collective identity of a group over individual components.
