The either/or dichotomy is rooted in our Aristotelian - TopicsExpress



          

The either/or dichotomy is rooted in our Aristotelian understanding that a thing either is or is not the equivalent of the qualitative terms used to describe it. This is fundamentally a false reality. Everything exists as an expression of the totality of its qualitative percentages. For example, one can say that a shirt is blue, but blue is merely a descriptive component the shirt. The shirt is also made of cotton, size large, a mens shirt etc. Ergo, in this example, the shirt is X%-blue/Y%-cotton and so on. We can intellectually deconstruct the phenomenological shirt ad nauseum, but we will never find the real shirt, only its descriptors.
