Moreover, do not be insistent, even though you really 514 VI, 13| good, as in the cases just instanced.~Moreover, see if the whole 515 VI, 2 | the definition, and then institute his argument against each: 516 VIII, 11| held not for the sake of instruction but for purposes of practice 517 VI, 4 | latter; for any ordinary intelligence can grasp them, whereas 518 V, 2 | stated are not or are more intelligible-for destructive purposes, whether 519 V, 5 | purposes, see if, while intending to render an attribute that 520 VI, 7 | intensely in love has not a more intense desire for intercourse, 521 II, 11| something to a given object intensifies the character which it had 522 II, 11| described as an "increased intensity" is found to take place. 523 IV, 6 | its species.

Observe, please, that the converse of this 684 VI, 9 | then, too, the man who is pleased is benefited. Speaking generally, 685 VI, 3 | then, of that kind will be pointless.~Or see if, though the additional 686 VII, 3 | the kind as their starting points-both in geometry and in arithmetic 687 VI, 2 | or a certain spider as poison-fanged’, or the marrow as "boneformed". 688 II, 7 | to the views of those who posit the existence of Ideas, 689 I, 15| the former will be body possessing such and such a colour’, 690 II, 8 | all cases, therefore, a postulate of this sort should be made, ( 691 VIII, 11| opinions": and it has been postulated both that "a genuine opinion-in-itself 692 VIII, 11| suppose him to make his postulates as follows: "x-in-itself 693 VIII, 13| fourthly, suppose him, after postulating the latter view, to try 694 VIII, 14| argue with every one, nor practise upon the man in the street: 695 VIII, 14| geometry it is useful to be practised in the elements, and in 696 VIII, 14| result. For you see how in practising together people cannot refrain 697 II, 9 | will be rendered also "praiseworthily", derived will by the same 698 II, 1 | accident" is an extremely precarious thing; for in the case of 699 III, 1 | the same as the one that precedes it, with, however, a different 700 VII, 3 | established have been more precisely defined elsewhere, but for 701 VII, 1 | the same, the differentiae predicted of either be not the same, 702 VIII, 12| accept on its merits in preference to many true ones an argument 703 VI, 8 | cases, for almost everybody prefers the present experience of 704 II, 11| without any addition you are prepared to say is honourable or 705 VIII, 11| the other hand, the one preponderates, the conclusion too will 706 VI, 1 | property.~It remains, then, to prescribe how to investigate whether 707 III, 4 | conducted in the manner prescribed.

In general, too, all the 722 VI, 13| other, though brave, be a profligate; for then both will exhibit 723 III, 1 | an end we can decide by a proportional sum whenever the excess 724 VI, 14| well: one ought oneself to propose a second definition: for 725 VIII, 12| but not to the conclusion proposed-which happens principally in the 726 I, 1 | 1~OUR treatise proposes to find a line of inquiry 727 VIII, 14| objections. For it is the skilled propounder and objector who is, speaking 728 VIII, 1 | obtained by securing through prosyllogisms the premisses through which 729 VIII, 6 | sought follows, should yet protest that the proposition is 730 VIII, 11| originally they set out to prove-for often when they are talking 731 VIII, 11| what originally had to be proved-the argument is sure to become 732 VIII, 3 | that, whenever any problem proves intractable, it either needs 733 V, 3 | place, a man who omits to provide definitely whether it was 734 VIII, 3 | defect in definition; e.g. in proving that the line which cuts 735 III, 6 | inflexions of a thing: for public opinion grants alike the 736 VI, 10| case, whichever course he pursues, he is equally at fault. 737 I, 11| but only one which might puzzle one of those who need argument, 738 V, 4 | with the subject which it qualifies; e.g. an attribute that 739 IV, 4 | noble" are not relatives but qualities. Again, see whether the 740 VII, 5 | plentiful the material, the quicker an argument comes: for there 741 II, 3 | we are not easily able to quote any single argument applying 742 VI, 6 | differentia is clearly the human race. Again, see if the differentia 743 I, 2 | because the ability to raise searching difficulties on 744 III, 1 | one another (for nobody raises any doubt whether happiness 745 I, 15| as applied to a house, "ramshackle"; so that "fine" is an ambiguous 746 VIII, 3 | definition of "the same ratio". The most primary of the 747 V, 8 | though fire perish, there eh re will still be some form 748 VI, 5 | it is a knowledge how to read as well. For in rendering 749 VI, 5 | rendering it as "knowledge of reading": neither in fact has succeeded, 750 VIII, 14| It is best also to have ready-made arguments relating to those 751 VIII, 2 | previous admissions do not realize that those who deny it have 752 I, 7 | resemble one another. For the reaon why all water is said to 753 VIII, 1 | plausibility and air of reasonableness to the denial of the proposition. 754 VIII, 14| premisses, from inductive reasoners their parallel cases; for 755 IV, 4 | active, and if to learn be to recollect, then also to have learnt 756 IV, 4 | to have learnt is to have recollected, and if to be decomposed 757 III, 1 | one, our judgement will record our assent that whichever 758 VIII, 14| contraries and co-ordinates.~Records of discussions should be 759 I, 13| in that the latter may be recovered again after it has been 760 VIII, 12| principally in the case of reductiones ad impossibile: (3) when 761 VI, 3 | has phrased the definition redundantly, first of all look and see 762 VI, 6 | perplexity: for it is when we reflect on both sides of a question 763 V, 8 | secured by analogy, not from reflection on the belonging of any 764 VIII, 14| practising together people cannot refrain from contentious argument.~ 765 II, 2 | neither of these things, a refusal to assert it will make him 766 VIII, 11| answerer, because while refusing to grant other points, he 767 VIII, 3 | metaphorically, it is impossible to refute them.~In general, it is 768 I, 7 | Sameness would be generally regarded as falling, roughly speaking, 769 II, 6 | devise a line of attack by reinterpreting a term in its literal meaning, 770 VIII, 5 | however, of its acceptance or rejection, whatever it be, makes no 771 IV, 4 | terms used in like case relationships fail to yield a like construction 772 I, 6 | other questions we must relegate each to the particular branch 773 VII, 1 | a half" from each, the remainders ought to have signified 774 II, 4 | has said that knowing is remembering: for the one is concerned 775 VI, 3 | well, e.g. "Equity is a remission of what is expedient and 776 VI, 3 | is superfluous upon whose removal the remainder still makes 777 VI, 14| emendation is better, they repeal the existing law, so one 778 V, 2 | ways; one is, when a man repeatedly uses the same word, as would 779 V, 2 | the second is, if a man replaces words by their definitions, 780 VI, 11| different.~Moreover, see if in replacing one of the terms by something 781 VII, 3 | definition. It might be replied that there is no necessity 782 VI, 4 | the definitions, and these representations are not the same, inasmuch 783 VI, 4 | will be the same as it is represented to be in each of the definitions, 784 IV, 2 | neither of the aforesaid requirements can be satisfied: for the 785 VIII, 2 | term that covers all the resemblances: in this case, when people 786 VI, 14| first of all correct and reshape it in order to make some 787 VIII, 11| to become vitiated. The responsibility, however, for this rests 788 VIII, 4 | that it is not he who is responsible for the absurdity or paradox, 789 VIII, 3 | the premiss, than to the resulting position, a doubt may arise 790 IV, 5 | memory is a "state that is retentive of a conception", for memory 791 VI, 10| so either, then one may retort to such a man that though 792 IV, 4 | grant that need not be returned". In some cases, however, 793 VI, 13| person exhibits daring in robbery, and right reasoning in 794 VIII, 3 | them.~In general, it is safe to suppose that, whenever 795 II, 4 | impossible to remember anything save what is in the past.~ 796 III, 2 | consequence involved to turn the scale. Our survey from the point 797 I, 1 | this is the object of our search in the treatise before us.~ 798 I, 2 | because the ability to raise searching difficulties on both sides 799 III, 2 | every season or at most seasons, e.g. justice and temperance 800 III, 1 | are inherent in what is secondary, strength being a feature 801 IV, 5 | as "one who is capable of secretly thieving other people's 802 VIII, 2 | universal proposition, until he secures what he requires; e.g. in 803 VI, 14| one knows that part and sees it to be incorrectly rendered: 804 I, 14| 14~Propositions should be selected in a number of ways corresponding 805 I, 14| useful also to make them by selecting not only those opinions 806 VIII, 1 | party.

Also, that which is more 819 IV, 3 | see whether the species shares in any character which it 820 I, 15| one said to be clearer or sharper than the other. "Clear", 821 VI, 4 | then, as they become more sharpwitted, the converse; so that those 822 | she 823 VIII, 14| for carrying a point by sheer force, and in refutation 824 I, 2 | but of their own, while we shift the ground of any argument 825 VI, 14| eyes, to discern both any shortcoming in any features that the 826 VI, 14| take by oneself a happy shot at a definition of the object 827 VIII, 14| right to choose the true and shun the false.
