An Entity of Type: Abstraction100002137, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Distinction, the fundamental philosophical abstraction, involves the recognition of difference. In classical philosophy, there were various ways in which things could be distinguished. The merely logical or virtual distinction, such as the difference between concavity and convexity, involves the mental apprehension of two definitions, but which cannot be realized outside the mind, as any concave line would be a convex line considered from another perspective. A real distinction involves a level of ontological separation, as when squirrels are distinguished from llamas (for no squirrel is a llama, and no llama is a squirrel). A real distinction is thus different than a merely conceptual one, in that in a real distinction, one of the terms can be realized in reality without the other being r

  • Die Unterscheidung (distinctio, διάκρισις, διορισμός) ist eine Grundtätigkeit des Denkens. Sie besteht in der „[...] aktiven Feststellung bzw. Klarlegung von Unterschieden, Verschiedenheiten, Andersheiten.“ Sie ist eine Voraussetzung der Klassifikation und der Erkenntnis. Die Praxis zur Unterscheidung ist der Vergleich. (de)

Later developments include Duns Scotus's formal distinction, which developed in part out of the recognition in previous authors that there need to be an intermediary between logical and real distinctions. Some relevant distinctions to the history of Western philosophy include: * Necessity and contingency * Inductive and Deductive (en)
