ABSTRACT
IT would appear that no one has denied the existence of resemblances in the sense in which it is common usage to say that light crimson resembles dark crimson. Such is not the case in the matter of exact resemblance. The existence, even so much as the possibility, of an exact resemblance has been denied systematically as a matter of principle by Hegelian Idealism. This denial is based on no attempt to muster an empirical demonstration of a Leibnitzian identity of indiscernibles. Rather, the denial is part and parcel of a conception of identity as identity in difference that is of the very essence of the Hegelian dialectic of contraries.
