Philosophy in the Context of Our Time – II Universality and what is Individual
Abstract
There are several classical (perennial) questions constantly recurring within philosophy and within all the disciplines. The relation between what is universal and individual occupies a central position amongst these questions (alongside questions concerning unity and diversity, constancy and dynamics, knowable and unknowable, finite and infinite, and so on). This article sets out to analyze the relation between universality and what is individual within the context of the substance concept, the distinction between law side and factual side, as well as the possibility to use modal (aspectual) terms both in a conceptual and a concept-transcending way. The traditional distinction between (objective) primary qualities and (subjective) secondary qualities is contrasted with the subject-object relation while particular attention is given to ambiguities in the views of Dooyeweerd regarding his idea of individuality structures.
