• O. N. Nogovitsin. The conception coincidentia oppositorum and the critics of the Aristotle’s principle of contradiction in the late treatise «On Not-Other» of Nicholas of Cusa - In Russian: Ноговицин О.Н. Концепция coinсidentia oppositorum и критика принципа противоречия Аристотеля в позднем трактате Николая Кузанского «О неином» - text in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF), 442 kb.

  In the late treatise «On Not-Other» Nicholas of Cusa undertakes ones again an attempt to think over unthinkable. The name «Not-Other» as he supposes might be the best conductor on this way, because it can express the sense of difference between the final creaturely beings and infinitive creative being. This sense or meaning is constituted by him both before understanding of a First Course with the coincidence of contradictions and before the sphere of application of the principle of contradiction. Epistemological, logical and ontological implications of this paradox are being analyzed in this article in context of the critics by Nicholas of Cusa of the doctrine of Aristotle on contradiction.
