| Short Description: |
pure existence of a thing, an essential foundation |
| Long Description: |
pure existence of a thing, an essential foundation; the term covers the level of pure unity (which is the foundation of all manifested realities) and the divine; for Proclus, being’s pure essence is no actual being, but a unity ( henas) with existence ( huparxis), and this unity is the spark of divinity; the huparxis of henads is not existence of certain concrete subjects, but unqualified existence, unconditioned even by being. |
