attribute is quasi-substance or quasi-attribute. a Thus an image of a horse may rise before the mind, although there is no horse present. Species is that which is comprehended under genus : thus Man-is included under Animal. The highest or most universal genus is that which, being itself a genus, has no genus above : namely, reality or the real ; and the lowest and most particular species is that which, being itself a species, has no species below it, e.g. Socrates. Division of a genus means dissection of it into its proximate species, thus : Animals are either rational or irrational (dichotomy). Contrary division dissects the genus into species by contrary qualities : for example, by means of negation, as when all things that are are divided into good and not good. Subdivision is division applied to a previous division : for instance, after saying, " Of things that are some are good, some are not good," we proceed, " and of the not good some are bad, some are neither good nor bad (morally indifferent)." Partition in logic is (according to Crinis) classification or distribution of a genus under heads : for instance, Of goods some are mental, others bodily. Verbal ambiguity arises when a word properly, rightfully, and in accordance with fixed usage denotes two or more different things, so that at one and the same time we may take it in several distinct senses : e.g. in Greek, where by the same verbal expression may be meant in the one case that " A house has three times " fallen, in the other that " a dancing-girl " has fallen. Posidonius defines Dialectic as the science dealing with truth, falsehood, and that which is neither true
