The Coexistence of Contradictory Properties in the Same Subject According to Aristotle
نویسنده
چکیده
A continuous if rather winding thread in Aristotle’s fairly complex argument in Metaphysics Γ against the assertion of any contradiction is that he who asserts a contradiction is thereby committed to a rejection of degrees. On the other hand, though, Aristotle claims that there can be no intermediary situation inbetween pure or entire truth or existence and utter, complete falseness or nonexistence. Unfortunately though such a combination of views can be rendered noncontradictory at best through manoeuvres he himself rejects.

متن کاملThe witness set of coexistence of quantum effects and its preservers
One of unsolved problems in quantum measurement theory is to characterize coexistence of quantum effects. In this paper, applying positive operator matrix theory, we give a mathematical characterization of the witness set of coexistence of quantum effects and obtain a series of properties of coexistence. We also devote to characterizing bijective morphisms on quantum effects leaving the witness...
