| Paragraph 1 |
Inasmuch as contraries can be conjoined with each other in
six ways,
and four of these conjunctions constitute a contrariety, we
must grasp
the subject of contraries, in order that it may help us both in
demolishing and in establishing a view. |
| Paragraph 2 |
The first two then of the aforesaid conjunctions do not constitute
any contrariety; |
| Paragraph 3 |
Moreover, if the accident of a thing have a contrary, see
whether it
belongs to the subject to which the accident in question has been
declared to belong: |
| Paragraph 4 |
Or again, look and see if anything has been said about
something, of
such a kind that if it be true, contrary predicates must necessarily
belong to the thing: |
| Paragraph 5 |
Again, if there be posited an accident which has a contrary, look
and see if that which admits of the accident will admit of its
contrary as well: |
