unity |
| Long Description: |
unity; unity is the characteristic that everything has in common; anything depends on unity and only unity is the goal of all things; in Neoplatonism, the soul’s purification, accomplished primarily through philosophy, culminates in noetic vision and finally in mystical union (Plot. Enn.VI.7.36); the divine truth is an indivisible henosis of real beings. |
