G.W. Leibniz on Particulars - Dictionary of Arguments
Holz I 80 Particular/Leibniz: each particular contains the whole in such a way that it "depicts" the effects of the connection with all others in itself. The one from which the particular is deduced must be contained in it; otherwise it would not be deducible. Deduction is only conclusive if the deduced predicates prove to be included in the subject according to the principle of identity. >Deduction/Leibniz, >Identity principle/Leibniz, >Order/Leibniz. Double inclusion: the particular in the whole and the whole in the particular. Holz: dialectical relationship of unity and plurality. >Totality/Leibniz, cf. >Dialectic._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
