1 I, 5 | of a phrase in lieu of a term, or of a phrase in lieu 2 I, 5 | rendering consists of a term only, try it as they may, 3 I, 5 | essential meaning of the term in question. To Accident 4 I, 6 | fails to belong only to the term defined, as we do also in 5 I, 7 | number of senses borne by the term "Sameness". Sameness would 6 I, 7 | We generally apply the term numerically or specifically 7 I, 7 | generally supposed that the term "the same" is most used 8 I, 7 | rendered in reference to some term drawn from Accident, as 9 I, 13| depends upon the use of one term in several senses, the second 10 I, 15| regards the number of senses a term bears, we must not only 11 I, 15| in other cases.~Whether a term bears a number of specific 12 I, 15| that "fine" is an ambiguous term.~In some cases there is 13 I, 15| Moreover, see if one sense of a term has a contrary, while another 14 I, 15| to "love" is an ambiguous term. Further, see in regard 15 I, 15| then, is an ambiguous term, and likewise also "obscure". 16 I, 15| certain state: for if the one term bears more than one meaning, 17 I, 15| then so will the remaining term: e.g. if "to have sense" 18 I, 15| cases, whenever the original term bears more than one meaning, 19 I, 15| predicates signified by the term, and see if they are the 20 I, 15| the same, then clearly the term is ambiguous: e.g. "good" 21 I, 15| called good. So then the term "good" is ambiguous. In 22 I, 15| similar case: for the same term does not bear the same meaning 23 I, 15| objects denoted by the same term, and see if they are different 24 I, 15| only if the genera of the term before you are different 25 I, 15| several senses, clearly the term before you does so as well.~ 26 I, 15| arises from the use of the term in combination, e.g. of 27 I, 15| what sense he has used the term "commensurably" in each 28 I, 15| comprised under the same term are differentiae of genera 29 I, 15| then, is an ambiguous term: for it forms differentiae 30 I, 15| included under the same term themselves have different 31 I, 15| Colour, then, is an ambiguous term; for things that are the 32 I, 15| included under the same term be a species and another 33 I, 16| number of meanings in a term may be investigated by these 34 I, 18| number of meanings of a term both for clearness’ sake ( 35 I, 18| addressed merely to the term used. For as long as it 36 I, 18| clear in how many senses a term is used, it is possible 37 I, 18| number of meanings of a term, we shall certainly never 38 II, 2 | until he comes to a familiar term: for often if the definition 39 II, 3 | 3~Moreover, if a term be used in several senses, 40 II, 3 | variety of meanings of a term be obvious, distinguish 41 II, 3 | by way of ambiguity of a term, but in some other way: 42 II, 3 | possible in any sense of the term that the science of many 43 II, 4 | Moreover, it is well to alter a term into one more familiar, 44 II, 4 | e.g. if to anything the term "scientific knowledge" be 45 II, 4 | will be applied to it the term "grammatical" or "musical" 46 II, 4 | knowledge or is described by a term derived from "science", 47 II, 4 | or will be described by a term derived from one of them, 48 II, 6 | attack by reinterpreting a term in its literal meaning, 49 II, 8 | the contrary of the one term does not follow upon the 50 II, 8 | clearly neither does the one term follow upon the other in 51 II, 11| belong absolutely: for the term "man" is not attributed 52 III, 3 | case in which the common term uses, or in some other way 53 IV, 1 | phenomena comprised under the term "motion". For individuals 54 IV, 1 | animal".~Moreover, see if the term placed in the genus has 55 IV, 1 | genus. For the aforesaid term is not the genus of divisible 56 IV, 4 | the species be a relative term, see whether the genus be 57 IV, 4 | the genus be a relative term as well: for if the species 58 IV, 4 | the species be a relative term, so too is the genus, as 59 IV, 4 | for each is a relative term. If, on the other hand, 60 IV, 4 | the genus be a relative term, there is no necessity that 61 IV, 4 | knowledge"is a relative term, but not so "grammar". Or 62 IV, 4 | while "virtue" is a relative term, "good" and "noble" are 63 IV, 4 | of its genus: e.g. if the term "double" be used to mean 64 IV, 4 | a "half", then also the term "multiple" ought to be used 65 IV, 4 | Moreover, see whether the term fail to be used in the same 66 IV, 4 | there is no necessity for a term to be used in the same relation 67 IV, 4 | not alike, clearly the one term is not the genus of the 68 IV, 4 | still may be (e.g. if the term "object of knowledge" be 69 IV, 4 | see whether he places a term of one kind inside a genus 70 IV, 6 | Moreover, see whether the term rendered fail to be the 71 IV, 6 | itself does so, nor any term that is called after it: 72 IV, 6 | does so itself nor yet any term called after it, then what 73 V, 2 | resemblance to the soul", uses the term "soul", which is less intelligible 74 V, 2 | animal". The reason why the term you use, or the whole expression 75 V, 2 | syllogism to that one of the term’s several meanings which 76 V, 2 | destructive purposes, see if the term of which he renders the 77 V, 2 | a man should see if the term of which he is rendering 78 V, 2 | purposes, see whether the same term has been repeated in the 79 V, 2 | Repetition of the same term is likely to happen in two 80 V, 2 | ever repeating the same term; for then the property will 81 V, 2 | avoided repeating the same term several times, the property 82 V, 2 | in the property any such term as is a universal attribute. 83 V, 2 | has used in the property a term of that kind, viz. "unity", 84 V, 2 | to everything and used a term that distinguishes the subject 85 V, 2 | have a soul" has used no term that is common to everything, 86 V, 2 | than one property (for each term is a true predicate of fire 87 V, 3 | of definitions, the first term to be rendered should be 88 V, 5 | things that fall under the term of which he states the property: 89 V, 5 | the property both of the term which has it absolutely 90 V, 5 | beautiful" has rendered the term as a property of itself ( 91 V, 6 | if the contrary of the term rendered fails to be a property 92 V, 6 | if the correlative of the term rendered fails to be a property 93 V, 6 | e.g.) see if the positive term or the attribute described 94 V, 6 | subject: for then the negative term or the attribute described 95 V, 6 | other hand, the negative term or the attribute described 96 V, 6 | subject, then the positive term or the attribute described 97 V, 6 | purposes, if the positive term falls to be a property of 98 V, 6 | neither will the negative term be a property of the negative 99 V, 6 | subject. Also, if the negative term fails to be a property of 100 V, 6 | neither will the positive term be a property of the positive 101 V, 6 | hand, see if the positive term is a property of the positive 102 V, 6 | subject: for then the negative term will be a property of the 103 V, 6 | well. Also if the negative term be a property of the negative 104 V, 6 | subject: for then the same term will not be a property of 105 V, 6 | subject as well. Also, if the term rendered be a property of 106 V, 6 | on the other hand, if the term rendered fails to be a property 107 V, 6 | deceptive: for a positive term is not a property of a negative, 108 V, 6 | positive. For a positive term does not belong at all to 109 V, 6 | negative, while a negative term, though it belongs to a 110 V, 6 | for then neither will the term stated be a property of 111 V, 6 | in the case of the actual term mentioned should one look 112 VI, 1 | well to that to which the term is applied (for the definition 113 VI, 1 | true of that of which the term is true you should proceed 114 VI, 2 | several possible senses of the term he intends to convey. Likewise 115 VI, 2 | convey. Likewise also, if the term defined be used in different 116 VI, 2 | the various senses of the term rendered in the definition, 117 VI, 2 | stated will not apply to the term defined, e.g. in the case 118 VI, 2 | hand, he does not mean the term literally, it is clear that 119 VI, 3 | the same genus. Now any term that belongs to everything 120 VI, 3 | be peculiar to the given term, yet even when it is struck 121 VI, 3 | clear the essence of the term. Thus, in the definition 122 VI, 3 | remainder still makes the term that is being defined clear. 123 VI, 3 | predicated convertibly with the term, because the attribute " 124 VI, 3 | therefore included in the latter term: its mention is therefore 125 VI, 4 | rendered is to make known the term stated, and we make things 126 VI, 4 | essential nature of the term they define, unless it so 127 VI, 4 | impossible to understand the one term without the other, and accordingly 128 VI, 4 | Another is-if he has used the term defined itself. This passes 129 VI, 4 | superior through a subordinate term, e.g. "An "even number" 130 VI, 4 | in using the subordinate term one is bound to use the 131 VI, 4 | for whoever employs the term "virtue" employs the term " 132 VI, 4 | term "virtue" employs the term "good", seeing that virtue 133 VI, 4 | also, whoever employs the term "half" employs the term " 134 VI, 4 | term "half" employs the term "even", for to be "divided 135 VI, 5 | Moreover, see if, while the term to be defined is used in 136 VI, 5 | Moreover, in a case where the term to be defined is used in 137 VI, 6 | could not have defined the term. For none of the aforesaid 138 VI, 6 | seeing that the genus is the term with the widest range of 139 VI, 6 | that the differentia is a term with a wider range than 140 VI, 6 | differentia of a relative term relatively to something 141 VI, 6 | definer renders each relative term relatively to its natural 142 VI, 6 | the particular relative term can be used in relation 143 VI, 6 | Or see if, whenever a term happens to be used in a 144 VI, 6 | if the thing of which the term defined has been stated 145 VI, 7 | and see also whether the term being defined is applied 146 VI, 7 | be before you, see if the term to be defined applies more 147 VI, 8 | 8~If the term defined be relative, either 148 VI, 8 | mention that to which the term, either in itself or in 149 VI, 8 | being of every relative term is identical with being 150 VI, 8 | either the thing to which the term itself is relative, or that, 151 VI, 8 | relative. Or see if a relative term has been described not in 152 VI, 8 | which he has rendered the term be a process or an activity: 153 VI, 8 | state the essence of the term. One should always attack 154 VI, 9 | if the opposite of the term has the opposite definition, 155 VI, 9 | contraries. For to the contrary term will apply the definition 156 VI, 9 | bound to be contrary to the term originally used. Suppose, 157 VI, 9 | to be the contrary of the term originally used, then clearly 158 VI, 9 | definition of the contrary of the term originally defined: and 159 VI, 9 | rendered of the original term has not been rightly rendered 160 VI, 9 | defining it through the term which denotes privation 161 VI, 9 | his definition the very term he is defining; and this 162 VI, 9 | is that he uses the very term being defined: for "good" 163 VI, 9 | Moreover, see if in rendering a term formed to denote privation, 164 VI, 9 | has failed to render the term of which it is the privation, 165 VI, 9 | omitted to add either any term at all in which the privation 166 VI, 9 | expression "a privation" a term that is not used to denote 167 VI, 9 | it as a merely negative term. For what is generally thought 168 VI, 10| the like inflexions of the term; e.g. if "beneficial" means " 169 VI, 10| whole range of the ambiguous term, it is not true of any one 170 VI, 10| objects described by the term. This is, moreover, what 171 VI, 10| that life is a synonymous term and is always used to describe 172 VI, 10| correctly, for to a synonymous term the definition should apply 173 VI, 10| applies to both senses of the term, one should secure a preliminary 174 VI, 10| definitions in explanation of the term, viz. the one previously 175 VI, 10| any one were to define a term used in several senses, 176 VI, 10| to contend not that the term is ambiguous, but that even 177 VI, 10| ambiguous, but that even the term does not properly apply 178 VI, 11| rendered of some complex term, take away the definition 179 VI, 11| define the remainder of the term.~Moreover, if the term defined 180 VI, 11| the term.~Moreover, if the term defined be a compound notion, 181 VI, 11| be equimembral with the term defined. A definition is 182 VI, 11| be equimembral with the term defined when the number 183 VI, 11| bound to be merely one of term for term, in the case of 184 VI, 11| be merely one of term for term, in the case of some if 185 VI, 11| actually a less well known term be substituted, e.g. "pellucid 186 VI, 11| speculative" is a less familiar term than knowledge; for the 187 VI, 11| always the most familiar term of all; so that it is not 188 VI, 11| reason why the most familiar term should not describe the 189 VI, 11| which case, clearly, the term to be altered would also 190 VI, 11| man is substituting for a term not merely another term 191 VI, 11| term not merely another term but a phrase, clearly it 192 VI, 12| 12~Again, see if the term of which he renders the 193 VI, 12| object of knowledge is a term relative to knowledge: likewise, 194 VI, 12| each and every relative term would be used in relation 195 VI, 12| should be peculiar to the term rendered: for not only but 196 VI, 12| to be peculiar to its own term, not general.~Sometimes, 197 VI, 13| however, he has said that the term being defined is not "A 198 VI, 13| number. Moreover, see if the term that has been defined is 199 VI, 13| one. If so, clearly that term could not be the product 200 VII, 1 | sort of predicate of each term, and in the things of which 201 VII, 1 | Moreover, as "sameness" is a term used in many senses, see 202 VII, 2 | what is signified by the term and by the expression be 203 VII, 2 | between the expression and the term, in order to establish that 204 VII, 3 | definition defines that opposite term, the definition given must 205 VII, 3 | necessity be that of the term before us. Seeing, however, 206 VII, 3 | predicated of the contrary term, then those rendered in 207 VII, 3 | would be predicated of the term before us. Seeing, then, 208 VII, 3 | predicated of the contrary term and not of the one in hand, 209 VII, 3 | definition of the contrary term be apparent, the definition 210 VII, 3 | apparent, the definition of the term before you will be apparent 211 VII, 3 | each other, clearly of the term before you there will be 212 VII, 4 | see if a man has used a term metaphorically, or predicated 213 VII, 5 | everything of which the term is predicated, and must 214 VII, 5 | things embraced under the term.~Further, even supposing 215 VII, 5 | the things of which the term is predicated, is enough 216 VII, 5 | in order to show that the term is predicated of things 217 VII, 5 | everything embraced under the term, but not to it alone, the 218 VII, 5 | property and genus of a term also. For in both cases 219 VII, 5 | everything included under the term in question, whereas to 220 VII, 5 | everything falling under the term, but not to that only, it 221 VII, 5 | formula is peculiar to the term), and moreover, besides 222 VIII, 1 | them because on the actual term itself he is readier with 223 VIII, 2 | is no established general term that covers all the resemblances: 224 VIII, 3 | or many?": here when the term "contraries" has been properly 225 VIII, 7 | the other sense": for if a term or expression covers more 226 VIII, 11| opinion". Now "a relative term is more fully itself when 227 VIII, 13| of different terms, or a term and an expression, that
