The predicables are a five-fold division of General Names, not grounded as usual on a difference in their meaning, that is, in the attribute which they connote, but on a difference in the kind of class which they denote. ❋ Unknown (1895)
The predicables are a fivefold division of General Names, not grounded as usual on a difference in their meaning, that is, in the attribute which they connote, but on a difference in the kind of class which they denote. ❋ John Stuart Mill (1839)
Since similar reasonings would apply to the other Porphyrian predicables as well, no universal can exist in this way. ❋ Klima, Gyula (2008)
Here is Hillî dealing with why Tûsî moves from the five predicables (or “five categories”) to the ten categories: ❋ Street, Tony (2008)
(Any pair of I-predicables for a fixed theory are equivalent.) ❋ Deutsch, Harry (2007)
Objection 5: Geach remarks that "As for our recognizing relative identity predicables: any equivalence relation ¦ can be used to specify a criterion of relative identity." ❋ Deutsch, Harry (2007)
The second tract, De predicabilibus (On the predicables) covers matters dealt with in Boethius's accounts of Porphyry's ❋ Spruyt, Joke (2007)
Avempace affirms that the five predicables are not primitive concepts, but constitute correlations between two universals falling within the rules of individuals and classes. ❋ Montada, Josep Puig (2007)
Part I then concludes with a discussion of the five “predicables” from Porphyry's Isagoge and of each of Aristotle's categories. ❋ Spade, Paul Vincent (2006)
Since a predicable (e.g., "___ is wise") must have at least one place to be a predicable, a 1-place predicable is a limit simpliciter of the ordered series of predicables. ❋ Vallicella, William F. (2006)
Although talk of zero-place predicables comes naturally, as when we speak of a proposition as a zero-place predicable, a zero-place predicable is no more a predicable than negative growth is growth. ❋ Vallicella, William F. (2006)
The first entry in Ibn Tibbon's glossary is the definition of the ten categories and five predicables. ❋ Robinson, James T. (2006)
Aristotle distinguishes between two kinds of predicables, namely those which are ˜said of™ objects and those which are ❋ Robinson, Howard (2004)
It has therefore to be understood as ˜There is no pair of predicables of reidentification such that one of them can be truly predicated of Socrates and the other truly predicated of someone at the present moment™. ❋ Miller, Barry (2002)
As he explains, this means that we need two predicables, one being true of Socrates before he died and the other true of him after his death. ❋ Miller, Barry (2002)
He does so by reminding us that ˜when we are attempting to discover whether something is the same as something which possessed some property at an earlier time, we need predicables of reidentification™. ❋ Miller, Barry (2002)
˜Socrates no longer exists™ is to be understood simply as the denial that there is any such pair of predicables. ❋ Miller, Barry (2002)
But since it is assumed that the series of descending subjects also terminates, plainly the series of more universal non-predicables will terminate also. ❋ Aristotle (2002)
Hitherto four of the five predicables of ancient logic have been mentioned, to wit, genus, species, property, and accident. ❋ United States Patent Office (N/A)
