MLAU.IO AND MLAUSKI. J01 



Emulsions and the like ; and the Analogues of all these 

 in other more special spheres, as in the human mind, 

 for instance. The Heterogenismus subdivides, on the 

 contrary, into the Inorganic "World (the Inorganismus) 

 and the Organic World (the Organism us) ; or into The 

 Mineral World, on the one hand, and The Vegetable 

 and The Animal Kingdoms, on the other hand. (140.) 

 138. The Universal Homogenisrnus Al,au,io is 

 (par excellence) THE INFINITE ; and Time (*/,io), Space 

 (o,io), etc., are Special Infinities ; but The Horno- 

 geneoiis, with any less extensional affix than al-, lies 

 nearer to The Conditioned or Limited. It is a tech- 

 nicality of the Sciences, or of what is Positive, though 

 diffused, and, hence, it is closely allied with the idea 

 of Generality. This latter (Generality) is, however, 

 wholly within the Limitary, and is named, there- 

 fore, from the Consonants ; but from that class of 

 them which is most confluent or least distinctifying. 

 These are analogous with the Liquidities described 

 in the preceding paragraph (137) and are specifically 

 the " Liquids." These are adapted especially to the 

 naming of all Being the type of which is Liquidity. 

 The combination ml is then chosen (a leading sound 

 taken from each Class of Liquids) to serve with au to 

 supply the name for Generality. Mlau,io, is, therefore, 

 The General Domain (technically the Generajisnms), 

 and Mlauski, is Generalogy (The Indeterminate As- 

 pect of things, broadly extended and interblended, the 

 lines of discrimination partially obliterated.) Auguste 

 Comte functionates in this department of Positivity 

 which he calls Natural Philosophy.
