I think that the superposition principle from quantum mechanics casts doubt on the Aristotelian dialectic framework, or, to quote the philosopher John Locke,
Quote:From whence it follows, that one thing cannot have two beginnings of existence, nor two things one beginning; it being impossible for two things of the same kind to be or exist in the same instant, in the very same place; or one and the same thing in different places. That, therefore, that had one beginning, is the same thing; and that which had a different beginning in time and place from that, is not the same, but diverse. That which has made the difficulty about this relation has been the little care and attention used in having precise notions of the things to which it is attributed.
Please note that I have read Locke's "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding" a number of times in its entirety, and so, am not just "Googling it".
That's nice. It doesn't make it any more relevant, or your responses any more cogent.
