predication

Relation, indeed, is the abstract of all predication, and ought not to appear in a list along with special forms of itself.

Bain follows Mill in treating this as the final import of Predication.

But the two terms "subject" and "predication" are not co-ordinate.

A nominalist to the core, he held that definition and predication are either false or tautological.

He considered that predication involved either identity or special and exclusive implication of the predicate with the subject.

In this way the predication of properties veils radically different relations between entities.

Again, in every predication there is an attribution of singular or plural.

But, in the great majority of verbs, the word is the sign of a complex idea, and the predication is expressed only by its form.

This change of meaning has not been made without a certain continuity of thought; for forms of judgment are modes of predication.

But this is precisely what Hobbes produces as a theory of predication in general.
