CONTENTS

Ch.
6. (xiii) Do Ideas exist, as well as sensible things and the objects of mathematics?
(xiv) Do the first principles exist potentially or actually?
(xv) Are the first principles universal or individual?
Γ.
1. Our object is the study of being as such.
2. We must therefore study primary being (viz. substance), unity and plurality, and the derivative contraries, and the attributes of being and of substance.
3. We must study also the primary axioms, and especially the law of contradiction.
4. Fatal difficulties involved in the denial of this law.
5. The connexion of such denial with Protagoras' doctrine of relativity; the doctrine refuted.
6. Further refutation of Protagoras.
7. The law of excluded middle defended.
8. All judgements are not true, nor are all false; all things are not at rest, nor are all in motion.
