1 I, 5 | happen to be phrased in terms like these. For in all such 2 I, 8 | is or is not one of the terms contained in the definition 3 I, 8 | and if it be one of those terms, then it will be the genus 4 I, 8 | if it be not one of those terms, clearly it would be an 5 I, 14| and that "of relative terms". In the same way these 6 I, 15| not only treat of those terms which bear different senses, 7 I, 15| corresponding to each of the former terms the meaning of its contrary 8 I, 15| case either of the original terms or of their contraries: 9 I, 15| Moreover, examine the case of terms that denote the privation 10 I, 15| the opposition between the terms now in question depends 11 I, 15| in the case of ambiguous terms, e.g. in the cases just 12 I, 15| prevails".~Moreover, see if the terms cannot be compared as "more 13 I, 17| especially needed in regard to terms that are far apart; for 14 I, 18| number of meanings of our terms. This, however, is not possible 15 II, 2 | and of contraries and of terms signifying the privation 16 II, 2 | states, and of contradictory terms. Then, if no clear result 17 II, 2 | definitions also for the terms contained in his definitions, 18 II, 2 | whereas if for one of the terms used in the definition a 19 II, 2 | that we ought to use our terms to mean the same things 20 II, 3 | of desire and all other terms that have more than one 21 II, 3 | in dealing with relative terms: for cases of this kind 22 II, 3 | generally cases of relative terms.~ 23 II, 4 | question, or are described by terms derived from that genus, 24 II, 4 | species or be described by terms derived from one of its 25 II, 8 | contradictories of your terms, converting the order of 26 II, 8 | by contradiction of the terms of the thesis is a method 27 II, 8 | it.~The case of relative terms should also be studied in 28 II, 8 | in the case of relative terms, in the way described: for 29 II, 9 | and inflected forms of the terms in the thesis, both in demolishing 30 II, 9 | co-ordinates’ are meant terms such as the following: " 31 IV, 2 | opinion", then neither of the terms stated could be its genus 32 IV, 4 | and convert the order of terms, according to the method 33 IV, 4 | which is the genus of these terms, demands not "to" but "than": 34 IV, 4 | and so.~Again, see whether terms used in like case relationships 35 IV, 4 | multiple". For each of these terms takes a genitive both in 36 IV, 4 | of relations in which the terms are used happens not to 37 IV, 4 | of something. Hence the terms in question are not the 38 IV, 4 | Seeing that of relative terms some are of necessity found 39 IV, 4 | nothing else can the aforesaid terms possibly be found except 40 IV, 5 | and of "gains": for the terms "courageous" and "good-tempered" 41 IV, 5 | spirited" faculty. Hence the terms rendered are not the genera, 42 IV, 5 | so that neither of the terms rendered could be the genus: 43 V, 2 | test is to see whether the terms in which the property is 44 V, 2 | whether they are so. Of the terms not being more intelligible, 45 V, 2 | to be intelligible: the terms therefore in which it is 46 V, 2 | purposes, see whether the terms in which the property is 47 V, 2 | both used more intelligible terms and has rendered the property 48 V, 2 | see whether any of the terms rendered in the property 49 V, 2 | see whether both all the terms and also the expression 50 V, 2 | whether he has avoided all terms that are common to everything 51 V, 3 | further by the use of these terms. Thus (e.g.) any one who 52 V, 3 | also in the case of other terms that do or do not make the 53 V, 4 | same" and "different" are terms used in several senses, 54 V, 6 | an attribute described in terms of a state (X) fails to 55 V, 6 | the attribute described in terms of the privation (of X) 56 V, 6 | an attribute described in terms of the privation (of X) 57 V, 6 | the attribute described in terms of the state (X) be a property 58 V, 6 | an attribute described in terms of a state (X) is a property 59 V, 6 | attribute that is described in terms of the privation (of X) 60 V, 6 | an attribute described in terms of a privation (of X) be 61 V, 6 | attribute that is described in terms of the state (X) will be 62 V, 6 | of positive and negative terms; and first (a) from the 63 V, 6 | the attribute described in terms of it is a property of the 64 V, 6 | the attribute described in terms of it will not be a property 65 V, 6 | the attribute described in terms of it is a property of the 66 V, 6 | the attribute described in terms of it will not be a property 67 VI, 2 | balance" are ambiguous terms: it is accordingly not clear 68 VI, 2 | see the ambiguity of his terms. Or, again, the questioner 69 VI, 2 | harmony. Again, see if he uses terms that are unfamiliar, as 70 VI, 4 | make the definition through terms that are prior and more 71 VI, 4 | by taking not any random terms, but such as are prior and 72 VI, 4 | does not define through terms of this kind has not defined 73 VI, 4 | clearly he who defines through terms that are prior and more 74 VI, 4 | defined a thing through terms that are prior and more 75 VI, 4 | through more intelligible terms may be understood in two 76 VI, 4 | either supposing that its terms are absolutely less intelligible, 77 VI, 4 | recognize things through terms of that kind, it may perhaps 78 VI, 4 | frame the expression through terms that are intelligible to 79 VI, 4 | to define is not through terms of that kind, but through 80 VI, 4 | through more intelligible terms is the exhibition of the 81 VI, 4 | motion.~Of the failure to use terms that are prior there are 82 VI, 4 | without the half, and all the terms that are essentially relative: 83 VI, 4 | odd" and "even" are such terms: for both are differentiae 84 VI, 4 | good, so that the latter terms are subordinate to the former. 85 VI, 5 | the expression by means of terms that are prior and more 86 VI, 5 | is submitted first of the terms in the definition.~Moreover, 87 VI, 5 | does not, e.g. all those terms which are not used essentially 88 VI, 6 | at all: for the aforesaid terms do not differentiate anything 89 VI, 6 | as, for instance, by the terms "walking", "flying", "aquatic", 90 VI, 6 | animals by means of the terms "walking" and "aquatic", 91 VI, 6 | differentiae of relative terms are themselves relative, 92 VI, 7 | differentiae and all the other terms rendered in definitions 93 VI, 7 | definitions in lieu of the terms, and then see if there be 94 VI, 9 | in the case of relative terms, see if the species is rendered 95 VI, 9 | in the case of contrary terms keep an eye on this mistake, 96 VI, 10| single common definition of terms that are used ambiguously. 97 VI, 10| are used ambiguously. For terms whose definition corresponding 98 VI, 10| at fault. Since ambiguous terms sometimes pass unobserved, 99 VI, 10| questioning to treat such terms as though they were synonymous ( 100 VI, 11| seeing that there are no more terms used now than formerly; 101 VI, 11| whereas in a definition terms ought to be rendered by 102 VI, 11| in replacing one of the terms by something else he has 103 VI, 12| in the case of relative terms do not distinguish to what 104 VI, 12| case with other relative terms: for every object of knowledge 105 VI, 12| also, with other relative terms, inasmuch as all such are 106 VII, 5 | necessary to demolish one of the terms used, whereas to establish 107 VII, 5 | rule it contains several terms; while it is the hardest 108 VIII, 1 | relating not to the precise terms themselves but to their 109 VIII, 1 | propositions relating to the actual terms themselves, they often find 110 VIII, 3 | argument are those that employ terms about which, in the first 111 VIII, 3 | impossible to argue upon such terms; and because of the impossibility 112 VIII, 3 | same way also with other terms requiring definition. It 113 VIII, 7 | manner also in the case of terms used obscurely, i.e. in 114 VIII, 13| in the case of different terms, or a term and an expression, 115 VIII, 13| were to beg the contrary terms of an antithesis, e.g. that 116 VIII, 14| case with both relative terms and contraries and co-ordinates.~
