G.W. Leibniz on Dissimilarity - Dictionary of Arguments
Holz I 62 Principle of Variety/Leibniz: (2nd Principle next to the Identity Principle): "That different things are perceived by me". This says nothing about the reality content of my perceptions! These could be phenomenal side effects or unconscious productions. >Phenomena/Leibniz, >Perception/Leibniz. I 78 Principle of Variety/Principles/Thinking/Leibniz: the formal possibility of thinking is based on the principle of variety. ((s) Because you cannot think of a single thing without relation to anything else.) Double movement/ascent/descent/Leibniz/Holz: from the certainty of the perceived multiplicity, one can now ascend to the infinitesimal boundary concept "all beings at the same time". >World/Leibniz, >Possibility/Leibniz, >Possible world/Leibniz._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
