To the argument touching relation we have an answer surely legitimate:\nThe Unity is not of a nature to lose its own manner of being only because something else stands in a state which it does not itself share; to stray from its unity it must itself suffer division into duality or the still wider plurality. If by division the one identical mass can become a duality without loss of quantity, clearly the unity it possessed and by this destructive division lost was something distinct.","tags":[],"text":null,"title":"The Enneads of Plotinus: THE SIXTH ENNEAD: SIXTH TRACTATE: Section 14","tradition":"Sacred Texts: The Classics","translated_text":null,"word_count":569}
