Abstract. The article examines the premises for understanding the God as a transcendental element in medieval scholasticism. The researcher’s attention is focused on Plotinus’s philosophy subsequently called henology - "One" doctrine. Comparing Plato’s and Plotinus’s views, "Liber de Causis" and its postulate of the primacy of existence, the author shows that scholasticism had to offer a cardinally new interpretation of Neo-Platonic "One" conception, because from the henological viewpoint, "One" is non-existent and from the scholastic viewpoint, the Primary Element is existence itself.
Key words and phrases: Единое, сущее, бытие, генология, след Единого, трансцендентное начало, "One", matter, existence, henology, sign of "One", transcendental element
