Note 19 — I. THE DOCTRINE OF UNIVERSALS.

In enumerating the Ten Categories, Aristotle takes his departure from the Proposition — Homo currit — Homo vincit. He assumes a particular individual as subject; and he distributes, under ten general heads, all the information that can be asked or given about that subject — all the predicates that can be affirmed or denied thereof. [See Ch. iii., especially p. 73, seq.]
