释义 | disparateadj.n. A. adj. 1. a. Essentially different or diverse in kind; dissimilar, unlike, distinct. In Logic, used of things or concepts having no obvious common ground or genus in which they are correlated. Hence distinguished from contrary, since contrary things are at least correlated in pairs, e.g. good and bad. Also distinguished from disjunct, since disjunct concepts may all be reduced to a common kind.Disparātus appears first in Cicero De Inv. Rhet. 28. 42, applied to the mere separation expressed by sapere, non sapere, or A is not B, as against the opposition of hot and cold, life and death; it is used by Boethius, De Syll. Hyp. (ed. Bas.) 608, to denote things which are only different, without any conflict of contrariety (tantum diversa, nulla contrarietate pugnantia). It reappears in 14–15th centuries with the school of Occam, e.g. in Rud. Strodus and Paulus Venetus, and is retained in modern transformations of the scholastic logic. According to Ueberweg Logic §53, disparate conceptions are those which do not fall within the extent of the same higher, or at least of the same next higher conception. (Prof. W. Wallace.)
