The Philosophy of the One is the second volume in Guglielmo Poli’s Ad Unum · The Foundations series. Energy, field, vibration, harmony: the words you use every day all come from someone. This book gives them back to you, together with the thinking that produced them.
What’s inside
Twelve chapters, from Thales, who around 600 BC says that everything is water, to Levinas, who warns that a philosophy of unity can become an alibi for no longer listening to anyone. In between: Plotinus, Cusanus, Ibn ʿArabī, the Kabbalah, Giordano Bruno, Spinoza, Schopenhauer, Bergson, Whitehead, Merleau-Ponty. Then India, which has been debating with itself for two and a half thousand years, Buddhism, and China, which never separated matter and energy.
Why the original languages
Every thinker arrives with their own sentence in the original language — Greek, Sanskrit, Chinese, Arabic, Hebrew — with the translation alongside and the exact reference. It isn’t ornament: when you hold the original sentence in your hands, no one can tell it to you their own way.
Who it’s for
For holistic practitioners, facilitators, teachers of body and meditative disciplines, and anyone who uses words like “energy” or “unity” every day and wants to know exactly where they come from.
It doesn’t teach you your craft. It gives you twenty-five centuries of thought to talk about it — and the confidence of someone who knows where their own words come from.
