This paper evaluates the argument for the contradictoriness of unity, that begins Priest’s recent book One. The argument is seen to fail because it does not adequately differentiate between different forms of unity. This diagnosis of the argument’s failure is used as a basis for two consistent accounts of unity. The paper concludes by arguing that reality contains two absolutely fundamental and unanalysable forms of unity, which are in principle presupposed by any theory of anything. These fundamental forms of unity are closely related to the unity of propositions and facts.

如何统一

本文对普里斯特最近的著作《一》的统一矛盾性进行了评估。该论据被认为是失败的，因为它没有充分地区分不同形式的团结。对论点失败的诊断被用作两个一致的统一解释的基础。本文最后指出，现实包含两种绝对基本的和无法分析的统一形式，原则上任何形式的任何理论都以这种形式为前提。这些基本的统一形式与命题和事实的统一密切相关。
