 1 Phileb|     These are (I) the paradox of unity and plurality; (II) the
 2 Phileb|       understand how an absolute unity, such as the Eleatic Being,
 3 Phileb| existence is the copula, or that unity is a mere unit, is to us
 4 Phileb|   axiomata’) in the passage from unity to infinity. With him the
 5 Phileb|  coexistence of opposites in the unity of the idea is regarded
 6 Phileb|       the denial of plurality in unity which is also attributed
 7 Phileb|         pass at once either from unity to infinity, or from infinity
 8 Phileb|    infinity, or from infinity to unity. In music, for example,
 9 Phileb|         the seriousness with the unity of opposites is regarded
10 Phileb|      which would go to prove the unity of the most extreme opposites.
11 Phileb|         in those cases, and when unity is of this concrete nature,
12 Phileb|         then how each individual unity, being always the same,
13 Phileb|         subject of enquiry; this unity we shall find in everything.
14 Phileb|         units, until at last the unity with which we began is seen
15 Phileb|     species intermediate between unity and infinity has been discovered,—
16 Phileb|          conceiving plurality in unity. Having no method, they
17 Phileb|        and many anyhow, and from unity pass at once to infinity;
18 Phileb|       begins with any individual unity, should proceed from that,
19 Phileb|      infinity should not jump to unity, but he should look about
20 Phileb|     kinds of everything that has unity, likeness, sameness, or
21 Phileb|         infinite, which is their unity, for, as was asserted in
22 Phileb|     argument we placed under the unity of more and less.~PROTARCHUS:
