4i 6 THE SCIENCE OF LOGIC 



meaning intensive and extensive involved in concepts and terms. 

 Distinguish and name three possible degrees of intension. Define 

 connotation. How far is it conventional? Is it purely arbitrary? 

 Is it absolutely fixed? Distinguish between &quot;implication&quot; (direct and in 

 direct} and &quot; suggestion &quot; ; illustrate the difference. Whether is connotation 

 or denotation fixed first? Define and illustrate extension or denotation. 

 What do you understand by the Realm or Sphere of Denotation f by the 

 Universe of Discourse ? Distinguish between the denotation and the appli 

 cation of a term. Explain and illustrate the relative variations of intension 

 and extension. Distinguish between an abstract and a concrete term. Are 

 all concepts the result of abstraction ? Are all potentially universal ? How 

 is such a concept made to represent one single individual ? Distinguish 

 between &quot;thing&quot; and &quot;attribute&quot;. Is the division of terms into abstract 

 and concrete an exhaustive division? Is it absolute, or may the same term 

 be abstract or concrete according to the context ? Have all terms extension ? 

 Is the division into general and singular exhaustive? Discuss extension 

 with reference to abstract terms. Discuss intension with reference (a) to 

 abstract terms, (b} to proper names. What are Incompatible Terms ? 

 Explain material contradiction in concepts and terms. How are terms with 

 negative prefixes or affixes related to the original positive terms from which 

 they were formed ? What are the characteristics of formally negative terms ? 

 Compare formal with material contradictories (a) in connotation, (b} in 

 denotation. Discuss the import of formally negative terms (a} apart from 

 judgment, (b) in judgment. Are such terms spurious or meaningless? 

 Does the form of negation belong properly to the concept, or to the 

 judgment ? What are contrary terms ? Have all terms contraries ? Com 

 pare contrary with contradictory opposition of concepts. When are concepts 

 said to be mutually repugnant? What are privative terms? Define 

 relative term. Is there a sense in which all concepts and terms might be 

 called relative ? What is a. jundamentum relationis? What is an absolute 

 concept or term ? Give the logical characteristics (i.e. state whether singular 

 or general, connotative or non-connotative, abstract or concrete, positive or 

 negative, absolute or relative, etc.) of the following terms: &quot;The house,&quot; 

 &quot;God,&quot; &quot;Sun,&quot; &quot;Space,&quot; &quot;The Andes,&quot; &quot;Iron,&quot; &quot;Fairy,&quot; &quot;Institution,&quot; 

 &quot; Parliament,&quot; &quot; Nationhood,&quot; &quot; A Daniel come to Judgment,&quot; &quot; Lough 

 Derg,&quot; &quot;Pius X.,&quot; &quot;Shameful,&quot; &quot;Shameless,&quot; &quot;Invaluable,&quot; &quot;Lame,&quot; 

 &quot; Creator,&quot; &quot; Logic &quot;. 



CHAP. II. What are the predicables ? Are they logical or real entities ? 

 What are Secundae Intentiones Mentis f Explain Aristotle s fourfold scheme 

 of predicables, and compare it with the fivefold scheme of Porphyry. Work 

 out the latter scheme by examining (a) the intension, (b) the extension, of 

 the concepts compared ; and prove that the fivefold scheme is exhaustive. 

 Compare the terms essence and nature with the term connotation. Dis 

 tinguish between the specific essence and the individual essence. Does the 

 name we give a thing determine its essence ? Is our knowledge a know 

 ledge of &quot; nominal essences &quot; merely ? Define and compare Genus and 

 Species. Explain Summum Genus, Infima Species, Subaltern Genera and 

 Species, Predicamental Line, Cognate Species, Cognate Genera. Of what is 

 Porphyry .r Tree an example ? Distinguish between the logical and the
