Note 186 — IV.

Waitz, in his notes (p. 478), says that Aristotle is here in the wrong. But I do not agree with Waitz. Aristotle considers πίστις to be an accidental accompaniment of ὑπόληψις, not a species thereof. It may be present or absent without determining any new specific name to ὑπόληψις, which term has reference only to the intellectual or conceptive part of the mental supposition. At least there seems to be nothing contradictory or erroneous in what Aristotle here says, though he does not adhere everywhere to this restricted meaning of ὑπόληψις
