Ebook: Intensität und Realität: Systematische Analysen zur Problemgeschichte von Gradualität, Intensität und quantitativer Differenz in Ontologie und Metaphysik

From the dawn of philosophy, the model of substantive difference has stood alongside the model of quantitative difference. Quantitative difference – that is, variance in a single quality according to intensity or quantity – has taken on increasing importance since the early modern and modern eras. This book examines conceptions of difference from ancient times to the present, from Plato to Deleuze.
