	In dialectics, quality is an aspect of the thing's character; quantity refers to an aspect of a thing that does not directly change a thing's nature. Quality and quantity form a contradiction, and therefore are united, which is termed as measure by Hegel. Quantity becomes quality when quantity greatly changes an object's nature; therefore quality becomes quantity when quality no longer changes an ~~objects~~ nature.

	For [[Plato]], dialectics is, firstly, the art of extracting all the positive and negative consequences contained in an idea or principle. Secondly, it is the rational movement of the mind which ascends by successive stages, from perceptible data to ideas, the eternal and immutable principles of things, and, finally, to the primary idea of all, the idea of the Good. Since for Plato ideas are the only reality worthy of the name, dialectics or the science of ideas comprises science itself.

			{{Quote\|Quality may be described as the determinate mode
			immediate and identical with Being – as distinguished from Quantity
			(to come afterwards), which, although a mode of Being, is no longer
			immediately identical with Being, but a mode indifferent and external
			to it. A something is what it is in virtue of its quality, and losing
			its quality it ceases to be what it is.\|Hegel\|Shorter Logic}}

			In dialectics, quality is an aspect of the thing's character; quantity refers to an aspect of a thing that does not directly change a thing's nature. Quality and quantity form a contradiction, and therefore are united, which is termed as measure by Hegel. Quantity becomes quality when quantity greatly changes an object's nature; therefore quality becomes quantity when quality no longer changes an objects nature.
