  • Word Usage
    "When it is said: ˜Every literate being is necessarily a human being™, the subject is not something that can be said per se of the predicate, but since ˜literate being™ is not separated from what belongs to a human being in itself, the sentence is conceded as necessary, though when a sentence is necessary in this way it is necessary per accidens."
