peer agreement (net): +1standing out / dissimilarity / distinction / distinguishing feature (characteristic) Explanation: Just a few ideas for you. Инакость in this context is not a religious or philosophical term per se. It just refers to being different, standing out from the crowd. |

oddness Explanation: Fairly common. Without waxing philosophical. If you wanna nevertheless, well, then, "otherness" is a legit term in English, whether Misha likes it or not. Sounds – well, yeah! – odd though. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2011-09-26 07:34:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Besides, I'd be hard put to believe that the writer in question keeps Hegel on his/her night table. :) |

| Reference: Definition Reference information: ИНАКОСТЬ (греч. heterotes, лат. alteritas) важное понятие метафизики Платона, нашедшее отражение в его трудах «Парменид» и «Тимей», где он поставил вопрос о точном определении какойлибо вещи (чего-то «одного») и ее отличии от иного. В неоплатонизме за инакость по отношению к «одному» принимался нус как дуализм познаваемого и познанного. За инакость земному миру в схоластике считалось божественное откровение, поскольку наличие ее в самом Боге не допускалось. Под инакостью в диалектике Гегеля понималась категория противоречия как единства взаимоисключающих и одновременно взаимоопределяющих противоположностей (полярных понятий). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 mins (2011-09-25 23:15:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The Greek and Latin translate to "otherness" or "differentness," which are good literal matches for "инакость." Neither seems to fit the context, though. I'll think about it some more and maybe offer an answer... Reference: http://dic.academic.ru/dic.nsf/enc_philosophy/2342/%D0%98%D0... |
