1 Ceteris paribus
При прочих равных, при прочих равных условиях.Если, при падении стоимости денег, цена труда повышается не в той же пропорции, то цена труда падает, норма прибавочной стоимости повышается, а потоку, при прочих равных условиях, возрастает и норма прибыли. - Если же, наоборот, одновременно с ростом стоимости денег заработная плата падает не в той же пропорции, то падает норма прибавочной стоимости, а потому ceteris paribus - и норма прибыли. (К. Маркс - Ф. Энгельсу, 22.IV 1868.)Либих предпочитает из двух гипотез ceteris paribus наипростейшую. (Ф. Энгельс, Диалектика природы.)Вопрос о цензе обращал на себя внимание редакторов судебных уставов. Им приходилось разрешить прежде всего вопрос об образовательном или умственном цензе. Из всех цензов это едва ли не самый верный и безобидный, если только пути к образованию более или менее для всех доступны. В самом деле, что бы ни говорили обскуранты старого и нового времени, образование ceteris paribus, в общем возвышает и облагораживает человека. (Г. А. Джаншиев, Основы судебной реформы.)Вы рассуждаете логично, милорд, - отвечал Дальгетти, - и ceteris paribus я, пожалуй, был бы склонен взглянуть на это дело вашими глазами. Но у нас на юге есть хорошая поговорка: "словами репу не подмаслишь". (Вальтер Скотт, Легенда о Монтрозе.)Латинско-русский словарь крылатых слов и выражений > Ceteris paribus
