 8 9 |            beforehand, and another may predict the reverse; that
 9 9 |      either direction. Such things may either be or not be; events
10 9 |          be; events also therefore may either take place or not

12 9 |            cut in half, and yet it may not be cut in half, but

14 10|            not-man" or "not-just", may seem to be denials containing
15 11|            form a unity. Thus, man may be an animal, and biped,
16 11|            and is not possible. We may either state in two separate
17 11|         that man is a biped, or we may combine the two, and state
18 11|        with two feet. Similarly we may use "man" and "white" as
19 11|           Therefore, if predicates may always be combined, he is
20 11|        indefinitely. Or, again, we may combine the predicates "
21 11|           and "walking", and these may be combined many times.
22 11|           many times. Similarly we may say that Socrates is Socrates

25 12|    contradictory of "it may be" is may not be", not "it cannot

27 12|            same thing both may and may not be; for instance, everything
28 12|          instance, everything that may be cut or may walk may also
29 12|      everything that may be cut or may walk may also escape cutting
30 12|        that may be cut or may walk may also escape cutting and
31 12|       subject, it follows that" it may not be" is not the contradictory
32 12|           the contradictory of "it may be". For it is a logical
33 12|        contradictory, then, of "it may be" is "it cannot be". The
34 12|            and "it is impossible", may be dealt with in the same
35 12|        contradictory, then, of "it may not be" is not "it cannot
36 12|           the contradictory of "it may be" is not "it may not be",
37 12|          of "it may be" is not "it may not be", but cannot be".
38 12|          Thus the propositions "it may be" and "it may not be"
39 12|   propositions "it may be" and "it may not be" appear each to imply
40 12| contradictory, the same thing both may and may not be. But the
41 12|            same thing both may and may not be. But the propositions "
42 12|           But the propositions "it may be" and "it cannot be" can
43 12|           can the propositions "it may not be" and "it cannot not
44 12|     contradictory propositions:~It may be. It cannot be.~It is
45 13|           From the proposition "it may be" it follows that it is
46 13|           From the proposition "it may not be" or "it is contingent

49 13|          upon the propositions "it may be", "it is contingent",
50 13|           upon the proposition "it may be" and the corresponding
51 13|            both these propositions may be true of the same subject;
52 13|           from the proposition "it may be" it follows that it is
53 13|           from the proposition "it may be", nor does the proposition "
54 13|            For the proposition "it may be" implies a twofold possibility,
55 13|           vanishes. For if a thing may be, it may also not be,
56 13|          For if a thing may be, it may also not be, but if it is
57 13|           from the proposition "it may be". For this is true also
58 13|         they are thus arranged.~It may be questioned whether the
59 13|        whether the proposition "it may be" follows from the proposition "
60 13|           then the proposition "it may not be".~Now both of these
61 13|            thought that if a thing may be cut it may also not be
62 13|           if a thing may be cut it may also not be cut, if a thing
63 13|        also not be cut, if a thing may be it may also not be, and
64 13|          cut, if a thing may be it may also not be, and thus it
65 13|          which must necessarily be may possibly not be; which is
66 13|           the case that that which may be or may walk possesses
67 13|          that that which may be or may walk possesses also a potentiality
68 13|            sense in which the word may be used.~We may perhaps
69 13|           the word may be used.~We may perhaps state that necessity
70 14|         bad thing, that it is bad, may be one and the same, and
71 14|           are bad, both judgements may be true. Nor is the judgement
72 14|           that is good is good. We may deal similarly with judgements
73 14|       propositions are true, a man may state both at the same time
