" The philosophical problem of Either/Or, as Kierkegaard referred to it, is therefore largely a factitious problem, in which philosophers attempt to synthesize or reconcile oppositions that are created primarily by their own categorizations. We are told that a thing is either A or not-A, and logically these categories are exclusive. But such division is not intrinsic in reality, in which elements flow into each other and possess similar properties. "
