| [Conclusion, p. 141]: Anaxagoras does indeed, as he has been said to do, represent the culminating point of the enquiry into the one bto-tv. That simple enquiry for a simple unity becomes curiously complex, just because of the very simplicity and the thorough-going and uncompromising nature of Anaxagoras' logical mind. It has with him reached a stage where it must become transformed and pass on the one hand into logic in Plato, into the enquiry about the nature of predication through Gorgias and Antisthenes, and on the other hand into metaphysics, the theory of ideas, also in Plato. This central position of Anaxagoras is made clear by the passage discussed, according to which, I think, in considering the 'homoiomeries,' we should look upon parts as 'homoiomerous' primarily to the whole i~c6otov, and only secondarily to subordinate wholes. Indeed, it is implied in Anaxagoras' principle that there are only two entities which are properly wholes, the 0c0/cpo and voDv^. To call anything else a whole is more or less arbitrary, a principle not unworthy of the most thorough-going of modern absolutists. |
