Quote from ‘Notes on the Categories [R]’
Term:
Quote:
…two ideas may be so little allied that one of them may be present to the consciousness in an image which does not contain the other at all; in this way we can imagine red without imagining blue, and vice versa; we can also imagine sound without melody, but not melody without sound. I call this kind of separation Dissociation.
