Written work
Ennead IV.9 [8]: Whether all souls are one
Εἰ αἱ πᾶσαι ψυχαὶ μία
It argues that all souls are in some way one, as the soul is whole in each part of the body or a science in each of its theorems, without abolishing the difference between individuals; the sympathy between beings confirms it.
