Abstract

The paper is dedicated to analysis of the rationale George Gemistos Plethon puts forth in regard of the unity of being in his treatise “On the difference between Plato and Aristotle”. The arguments of Plethon from the treatise “Against the writing of Scholarios in defense of Aristotlle”, which was written in response to George Scholarios’ objections to the first Plethon’s treatise, are joined hereto as well
