Diversity is within unity. What is your opinion?

Question

Diversity is within but not outside the unity.

What is your opinion on this statement?

Answer 1

I totally agree,
Everyone is unique and coming together in a unity brings different opinions and ideas.
Which can build a stronger unity. Like thinking outside the box.

Answer 2

I would indeed appear that in order to have a unity there must be diverse things which to be unified. If a unity was not composed of diverse things, then you would not have unity but rather one thing. An ancient philosopher that you may be interested in reading is the pre-Socreatic Heraclitus. He taught that there is an underlying harmony (arche) in all of the cosmos, and it is the tension and binary opposites in this world that creates that harmony. The reason why I bring this up is becuase we may understand harmony as resulting from a larger, more encompasing unity.

I caution, though, that while we may speak of unity among diverse things, this does not mean that the diverse things are fundamentally alike. For instance, what we would call an evil act would not be fundamentally alike to a good act, although we may say that the two create a unity for understanding. We say that they are diverse, or different, for a reason and only then abstract or understand how they may intellegible as a unified whole.

Answer 3

Yes... absolutely right in my view. Unity is made up of 'several' parts, not many parts that are the same. And yes, any diversity we see outside any unity ought to be a part of another more comprehensive unity.

Answer 4

If we consider unity = humanity, there you are my opinion. We are only one race, the human race. But all different, not only within ethnicity, also within our family. We are made by the same materials: flour, salt and water. Did you see wondering, what and how many marvellous kind of bread there are around us!?
