Vse-edinstvo (all–unit)

Vse-edinstvo (all–unit)
From the point of view of Russian philosopher Soloviev the term “all-unit” is not abstract, but expression constant experience.

Soloviev singles out three levels of unit:
1) mechanical;
2) organic;
3) “all–unit” (Vse-edinstvo – rus. The term was introduced into practice by russian philosopher Vladimir Sergeevich Soloviev in second part of XIX centure).
A mechanical unit is the unit of elements forming system. For example, the unit of internal forms biological organism.

An organic unit intends the beginning of new object which does not throw together to its own parts. For instance, human is not just a system of internal.

An “all–unit” intends not only an origin of unit but also intends unit in every part of “all–unit”. For example, human can express himself in gesture, mimic, word. Due to this ability is possible private intercourse. When I speak with someone I see his face and hear his voice, and I regard not to voice and face but to human like comprehensive whole which forming in his voice and face.

Separate elements are perceived by sense organs and Soloviev refers this phenomenon to material being.
The whole is understood by all minds and Soloviev refers this phenomenon to ideal being.

The whole makes substance of a subject and unit of different elements is its material being. There are not different substances, but two methods of opening the same being.

The expression of ideal (the whole) in material being (single) come out from the sense and mind perception. It is esthetic experience. Accordingly expression of unit in single is beauty. Beauty is a form of “all–unit” manifestation. What was said about human could be said about world too. World can be searched like system composed of elements. In such way it can be understand like material system. The science knowledge corresponds to level of mechanical unit.

It is possible to see on world from the position of unit which does not correspond to single elements. In such way we can understand the sense of the world. It can give us the philosophic knowledge.
And the world can be given to us like “all–unit–world” when every parts contain the unit. It can be understand by esthetic. It is a possibility to communicate with all world by own experience. Solovievs meeting with world was described by meeting with Sophia (divine wise). This is “all–unit–world” how God perceives it and how it opens to Human. And such beauty is not substance of God but different that is why Soloviev said that it is womanhood. Sophia is internal womanhood of the world.
