Abstract

Descartes recognized that once two things have been distinguished, and their difference firmly established, it is uncommonly difficult to grasp their unity.1 The difficulty of reassembling divided unities is nowhere greater than in the study of ancient thought. One may grant that the division between mind and matter, or between form and its embodiment, belongs to Anaxagoras or perhaps waits for Plato. But since we are accustomed to some such division, how are we to understand Ionian monism?
