Henology stands in contradistinction to several other philosophical disciplines. The term
henology refers to the discipline that centers around the One, as in the philosophies of
Plato and
Plotinus. It is sometimes used in contradistinction to disciplines that treat
being as their starting point (as in
Aristotle and
Avicenna), and also to those that seek to understand
knowledge and
truth (as in
Kant and
Descartes). == See also ==
