Democritus on Dissimilarity - Dictionary of Arguments
Adorno XIII 202 Dissimilarity/Democritus/Adorno: How is the dissimilarity in things created? The problem of all ancient philosophy was to state a unified principle, from which everything could be explained, and with which one could react against the infinite variety of natural mythology. Cf. >Totality/Ancient philosophy, >Unity/Aristotle, cf. >Unity/Plotinus, XIII 203 Atoms/Democritus/Adorno: Atoms do not have internal states, but only mechanical states. This notion that the essence of things can only be grasped from the outside and not from the inside, and that there is in fact no inner being, had a tremendous consequence for the entire history of the sciences. XIII 204 AristotleVsDemocritus/Adorno: Thesis: The objectivity and reality of forms is immanent to the things themselves. >Nature/Aristotle. Natural science: Modern science has criticized this Aristotelian and medieval view, and has no longer attempted to comprehend the matter from within, from these forms. One has simply observed and registered from the outside. This is VsKant, VsLeibniz, VsWolff. Scientific camp: Leibniz, Wolff per Aristotle._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
