verses " ; while reversed are those constructed with the passive voice, as " I am heard," " I am seen." Neutral are such as correspond to neither of these, as " thinks," " walks." Reflexive predicates are those among the passive, which, although in form reversed, are yet active operations, as " he cuts his own hair " : for here the agent includes himself in the sphere of his action. The oblique cases are genitive, dative, and accusative. A judgement is that which is either true or false, or a thing complete in itself, capable of being denied in and by itself, as Chrysippus says in his Dialectical Definitions : " A judgement is that which in and by itself can be denied or affirmed, e.g. ' It is day,' ' Dion is walking.' " The Greek word for judgement (a£uo/xa) is derived from the verb d£iovv, as signifying acceptance or rejection ; for when you say "It is day," you seem to accept the fact that it is day. Now, if it really is day, the judgement before us is true, but if not, it is false. There is a difference between judgement, interrogation, and inquiry, as also between imperative, adjurative, optative, hypothetical, vocative, whether that to which these terms are applied be a thing or a judgement. For a judgement is that which, when we set it forth in speech, becomes an assertion, and is either false or true : an interrogation is a thing complete in itself like a judgement but demanding an answer, e.g. " Is it day ? and this is so far neither true nor false. Thus " It is day " is a judgement ; " Is it day ? " an interrogation. An inquiry is something to which we cannot reply by signs, as you can nod Yes to an interrogamade compacts with each other," is more active (opdd) than passive (vwria).
The Greek stands ready in the workroom; the English is served. Both faces will read together.
