Jean Brun (1961)

Les mathématiques traitent des êtres immuables mais non séparés (les figures des êtres immuables par leur essence, mais ils ne sont pas séparés car il n´y a pas de figures séparés de ce dont il y a figure, ni de nombres séparés des choses nombrées; cf. Phys. II 2 193 b 22 sq.); la physique traite des êtres qui on en eux-mêmes un principe de mouvement et qui sont par conséquent des êtres mobiles et séparés les uns des autres; quant à la métaphysique, elle s´occupe de l´Etre immobile et séparé (cf. Méta. E 1 1026 a 13; K 7 1064 a 28).

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1807)

… Die Kraft des Geistes ist nur so groß als ihre Äußerung, seine Tiefe nur so tief, als er in seiner Auslegung sich auszubreiten und sich zu verlieren getraut. …
(2239, Phänomenologie des Geistes, Leibzig 51949, S. 15 – Vorrede.)

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (-5 - +65)

Epistula LXXVIII.
Toto contra ille pugnet animo; vincetur, si cesserit, vincet, si se contra dolorem suum intenderit. Nunc hoc plerique faciunt, adtrahunt in se ruinam, cui obstandum est. Istud quod premit, quod inpendet, quod urget, si subducere te coeperis, sequetur et gravius incumbet; si contra steteris et obniti volueris, repelletur. …
[Let such a man fight against them with all his might: if he once gives way, he will be vanquished; but if he strives against his sufferings, he will conquer. As it is, however, what most men do is to drag down upon their own heads a falling ruin which they ought to try to support. If you begin to withdraw your support from that which thrusts toward you and totters and is ready to plunge, it will follow you and lean more heavily upon you; but if you hold your ground and make up your mind to push against it, it will be forced back. …]
(…., Ad Lucilium Epistulae morales, London 1970, p. 190 / 191.)

Aristotelés ()

This is why Plato, in the Timaeus, identifies ´matter´ and ´room´, because ´room´ and ´the receptive-of determination´ are one and the same thing. His account of the ´receptive´ differs in the Timaeus and in what are known as his Unwritten Teachings, but he is consistent in asserting the identity of ´place´ and ´room´. Thus, whereas everyone asserts the reality of ´place´, only Plato has so much as attempted to tell us what it is.b
(Physics IV, 2, 209b 14)

b Aristotle too identifies ´place´ and ´room´ (cf. Introduction to this Book, p. 272), but Aristotle assimilates them /289/ both to the surface-continent, and Plato to the intramural dimensionally. See Plato, Tim. 52 A and Archer Hind, ad loc.

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1816)

Co je však třeba říci blíže k těmto úvahám, je především již to, že, ať by se sebevíce lišily, přece mají všechny filosofie to společné, že jsou filosofií. Kdo by tedy studoval či měl nějakou filosofii, pak jestliže to je filosofie, měl by tím přece filosofii. ...
