Note 179 — Chapter VI
Reading edition
A distinction may perhaps be drawn between the four following types of propositions; (a) All men are mortal ; (b) All men are mortals ; (c) Man is mortal ; (d) Man is a mortal. Of these, (a) naturally suggests the reading of subject in denotation and predicate in connotation as meaning, the three other readings being implications ; (b) is similarly related to the reading numbered (2) above; (c) to (3); and (d) to (4).
