1 I, 1 | Recognition of a truth may in some cases contain as 2 I, 2 | other than it is.~There may be another manner of knowing 3 I, 2 | conclusion. Syllogism there may indeed be without these 4 I, 3 | ground that demonstration may be circular and reciprocal.~ 5 I, 3 | and if B is, A must be, A may be substituted for C above. 6 I, 4 | line or number as the case may be.~Extending this classification 7 I, 5 | primarily and as such. Case (3) may be thus exemplified. If 8 I, 5 | attribute remains. "But"-you may say- "eliminate figure or 9 I, 6 | premisses. For though you may reason from true premisses 10 I, 6 | link, not being necessary, may have perished in the interval; 11 I, 6 | through which it was proved may yet quite easily be non-necessary. 12 I, 6 | which I here speak of it, may also not inhere, it is impossible 13 I, 6 | it through its cause. We may conclude that the middle 14 I, 7 | premisses of demonstration may be identical in two or more 15 I, 9 | therefore, which the subject may share with another-and consequently 16 I, 10| assumes. Yet some sciences may very well pass over some 17 I, 12| to the questions which we may put to each man of science; 18 I, 12| kind of error is it that may vitiate questions, and yet 19 I, 12| dialectic the ambiguity may escape detection. E.g. " 20 I, 12| to me to exist, which we may call B. I can now, since 21 I, 12| indefinitely. Or the expansion may be lateral: e.g. one major 22 I, 12| lateral: e.g. one major A, may be proved of two minors, 23 I, 13| one which is not the cause may quite easily be the better 24 I, 13| middle of the proof, however, may be reversed, and then the 25 I, 15| 15~Just as an attribute A may (as we saw) be atomically 26 I, 15| subject B, so its disconnexion may be atomic. I call "atomic" 27 I, 15| not the genus of B-for A may well have a genus which 28 I, 15| is clear that one thing may be atomically disconnected 29 I, 16| is true, positive error may befall one in alternative 30 I, 16| alternative ways; for it may arise where one directly 31 I, 16| or (b) one premiss only, may be false. (a) If neither 32 I, 16| premisses will be false. (C may quite well be so related 33 I, 16| Consequently both premisses may be false.) On the other 34 I, 16| b) one of the premisses may be true, though not either 35 I, 16| always be false, while A-C may be true. This is the case 36 I, 16| error of non-attribution may occur either in the first 37 I, 16| premisses in each case.~(c) It may occur when both premisses 38 I, 16| when one is false. This may be either premiss indifferently. 39 I, 16| premiss indifferently. A-C may be true, C-B false-A-C true 40 I, 16| would be true. Or again, C-B may be true and A-C false; e.g. 41 I, 16| the minor. Or one premiss may be wholly false, and it 42 I, 16| be wholly false, and it may be either of them. Thus, 43 I, 17| before. One premiss, however, may be false, and it may be 44 I, 17| however, may be false, and it may be either of them. Thus, 45 I, 17| affirmative, (a) (i) it may be inferred through the " 46 I, 17| as before.~(b) The middle may be inappropriate. Then ( 47 I, 17| but D-B false; since A may quite well be predicable 48 I, 17| always be false, while D-B may be either true or false; 49 I, 17| either true or false; for A may very well be an attribute 50 I, 17| science. Equally well A may be an attribute of no D, 51 I, 17| premisses but either singly may be false.~Thus we have made 52 I, 19| attributable to all B-and there may still be another term H 53 I, 21| is required, plainly it may be shown either in the first 54 I, 21| terminates in both these cases may be made clear by the following 55 I, 22| another group of coincidents may have a different substratum. 56 I, 22| of our contention these may carry conviction, but an 57 I, 22| in things. Now attributes may be essential for two reasons: 58 I, 24| 24~Since demonstrations may be either commensurately 59 I, 24| better? And the same question may be put in regard to so-called " 60 I, 24| particular demonstration.~We may retort thus. (1) The first 61 I, 24| particular which is causative (as may be shown thus: that which 62 I, 25| demonstration excels negative may be shown as follows.~(1) 63 I, 25| shown as follows.~(1) We may assume the superiority ceteris 64 I, 25| assumptions is superior may be set out in universal 65 I, 25| such as are posterior, we may suppose two demonstrations 66 I, 32| same basic truths. This may be shown first of all by 67 I, 32| established principles we may argue the case as follows, 68 I, 32| premisses any conclusion may be drawn. That would be 69 I, 32| premisses any conclusion may be proved, nor yet admitted 70 I, 33| concerned with that which may be true or false, and can 71 I, 33| connexion, though actually so, may quite easily be otherwise; 72 I, 33| essentially animal, that is, we may assume, may be other than 73 I, 33| that is, we may assume, may be other than animal.~Further 74 II, 2 | high and a low note", we may substitute "What ratio makes 75 II, 3 | are not wholly the same, may they yet be partially the 76 II, 3 | demonstrable definable; and we may draw the general conclusion 77 II, 4 | conclusion is drawn.~We may generalize by supposing 78 II, 4 | animal, or aught else it may be. Then, if we are to syllogize, 79 II, 6 | same definable form", you may object. That I admit, for 80 II, 7 | method of demonstration: we may not proceed as by induction 81 II, 7 | meaning of its name, we may conclude that definition, 82 II, 8 | actually exists. Or again we may ask which side of a contradiction 83 II, 10| exists. Moreover, a statement may be a unity in either of 84 II, 11| in time.~The same thing may exist for an end and be 85 II, 11| too is of two kinds. It may work in accordance with 86 II, 11| such as health or safety, may result from chance as well.~ 87 II, 12| 12~The effect may be still coming to be, or 88 II, 12| to be, or its occurrence may be past or future, yet the 89 II, 12| event. It is evident, we may suggest, that a past event 90 II, 13| subject). while an attribute may inhere in every triad, yet 91 II, 13| the essential nature they may be of use we will proceed 92 II, 13| must be more than one. I may illustrate my meaning as 93 II, 13| avoidance of equivocation. We may add that if dialectical 94 II, 15| manifestation. This latter class may be exemplified by the questions 95 II, 16| presence not of all that may cause it but only of a cause 96 II, 16| not be the whole cause. We may, however, suggest that if 97 II, 17| up through definition.~We may illustrate as follows. Deciduous 98 II, 17| then, that the same effect may have more than one cause,
