The 'Enneads' contains a principle of plurality (matter-dyad) which can be viewed as a necessary condition of the constitution and gradation of beings. This principle is amenable to a new interpretation of Plotinus's philosophy in which emanation as a transition from what is the highest to what is the lowest, is no longer regarded as a gradual deterioration of the Unity to matter, or the absolute 'steresis'. On the contrary, the process that leads to the emergence of new hyposthases can be viewed as a result of a cooperation between the Unity and the matter-dyad in which every new ontic level of being can be identified as a new form of the Unity whose power is gradually dissipated and diminished until it is entirely used up, which permits the Matter-dyad to show its a preponderance.
