ABSTRACT
The former is a qualitative agreement without respect to the concrete connection of the cases; the latter is the quantitative and numerical binding of the cases in their concrete natural relation, without respect to likeness or unlikeness, even in spite of unlikeness. The quantitative opposition preserves its axiological colouring through the fact that the unity, of which the singleness, plurality and totality are under consideration, is the personal entity, the bearer of moral acts and their values. The antinomical element in the quantitative aspect of the opposition undoubtedly finds its limit. The valuational opposition between the collective unit and the individual is in itself not antinomic in character. The individual and the collective unit, just as much as individuality and universality, are fundamentally different directions or regions of value which subsist independently of each other and none the less are materially most closely interwoven in concrete life.
