6. Mathematics / A. Nature of Mathematics / 4. Using Numbers / a. Units

12920	There is no multiplicity without true units [Leibniz]
	Full Idea: There is no multiplicity without true units.
	From: Gottfried Leibniz (Letters to Antoine Arnauld [1686], 1687.04.30)
	A reaction: Hence real numbers do not embody 'multiplicity'. So either they don't 'embody' anything, or they embody 'magnitudes'. Does this give two entirely different notions, of measure of multiplicity and measures of magnitude?
