It may have been Leibniz that proclaimed that no two things are identical in all respects, and that no two things are unalike in all respects. This seems right, and could serve as foundational suppositions upon which to build a theory of moderate ontology.
Purity in reality does not exist or rarely does. Things are mostly dissimilar or mostly are similar. Some things are totally alike and some things are totally different from each other. But most objects and ideas fall somewhere in between these extremes.
