Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Essay in Aid of a Grammar of Assent Modes of Holding and Apprehending Propositions. § I. Modes of holding Propositions. I. Propositions (consisting of a subject and predicate united by the copula) may take a categorical, or interrogative form. (1) An interrogative, when they ask a Question, (e.g. Does Free-trade benefit the poorer classes?) and imply that possibly it does, and possibly it does not. (2) A conditional, when they express a Conclusion (e.g. Free-trade therefore benefits the poorer classes), and both imply, and imply their dependence on, other prepositions. (3) A categorical, when they simply make an Assertion (e.g. Free-trade does benefit), and imply the absence of any condition or reservation of any kind, looking neither before nor behind, as resting in themselves and being intrinsically complete. These three modes of shaping a proposition, distinct as they are from each other, follow each other in natural sequence.
