Tatiana Karymshakova (asker) Dec 9, 2017:
The expression is taken from a newspaper article about an athlete, who worked hard and bacame famous. The sentence is:" Как утверждают философы, «количество» (если оно растет) неизбежно перерастает в «качество»."
This must have a technical meaning within philosophy. What is the context, an example sentence, a definition perhaps?
