* Article: Relationality as the Ground of Being: The One as Pure Relation in Plotinus. James Filler. The International Journal of the Platonic Tradition, Apr 2019

Abstract

"My main argument will be that Plotinus’ notion of The One is best understood as “pure relation”. I will argue that Aristotle’s understanding of relation as being determined by relata has been the dominant understanding and that this is wrong-headed, that relata are actually determined by relationality. Thus, relation is actually ontologically prior to the relata. This entails that the First Principle of Being is pure relation."
