| Paragraph 1 |
That the first term belongs to the middle, and the middle to the
extreme, must not be understood in the sense that they can always be
predicated of one another or that the first term
will be predicated of
the middle in the same way as the middle is predicated of the last
term. |
| Paragraph 2 |
It happens sometimes that the first term is stated of the middle,
but the middle is not stated of the third term, e.g. if wisdom is
knowledge, and wisdom is of the good, the conclusion is that there
is knowledge of the good. |
| Paragraph 3 |
The same holds good where the relation is negative. |
