Nicholas of Cusa on Categorization - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 441 Categorization/Kind/Type/Order/Nicholas of Cusa/Cusanus/Gadamer: (...) [the] theory of language [of the Cusanian] presupposes that (...) the things (formae) to which the words are added do not belong to a predetermined order of archetypes to which human knowledge is increasingly approaching, but that this order is first formed from the conditions of things by differentiation and summary. >Recognition/Cusanus. In this respect the nominalistic phrase has entered the thinking of the Cusanian. If the genera and species are themselves intelligent beings (entia rationis), then it can be understood that the words can be in accordance with the objective view they express Gadamer I 442 even if different words are used in different languages. >Word of God/Cusanus. For then it is not just a matter of variations of expression, but rather of variations of the objective view and the concept formation that follows it, and thus of an essential inaccuracy that does not exclude the possibility that in all of them there is nevertheless a reflection of the object itself (the form). Such essential inaccuracy can apparently only be overcome when the spirit rises to the infinite. >Recognition/Cusanus._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
