| Exterior/interior, outside/inside (philosophy): the distinction is important in connection with statements. If the statement is made within a system, it can be problematic to make an assertion about the system with that statement. The distinction between outside and inside replaces in some theories, e.g. in the system theory, the distinction between form and content. This is to avoid the counterintuitive acceptance of a content without form or a form without content. See also form, content, circularity, systems, theories, mereology, system theory._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

G.W. Leibniz on Exterior/interior - Dictionary of Arguments
Holz I 74 Identity/Leibniz/Holz: the identity of the finite with itself is formally not to be distinguished from the identity of the infinite whole with itself. Exterior/outside/whole/Leibniz: On the other hand, if there were an infinite mind, it must be outside the whole, in order to be able to grasp it at the same time. But with this, the whole would not be the whole thing anymore. It is a priori true that the whole cannot be imaged isotropically. Hence the boundary concept of the infinite mind, a heuristic fiction, remains a heuristic analogy to finite reason. >Totality/Leibniz, >Reason/Leibniz._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
