There is no problem in demonstrating that sensible things may have opposite attributes; what would cause consternation, and earn the admiration of Socrates, would be if someone were to show that the Forms themselves were capable of admitting contrary predicates.</i>Thersiteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15751286903359745316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007585410208807865.post-64241349545643486862013-09-30T18:50:18.574-07:002013-09-30T18:50:18.574-07:00or same vs other... i really should go through Pla...or same vs other... i really should go through Plato's list of incomensurable dialectical absolutes from "Parmenides".Thersiteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15751286903359745316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007585410208807865.post-15117783081566162032013-09-30T18:48:03.605-07:002013-09-30T18:48:03.605-07:00Is that like a weaker magnet?
