| Paragraph 1 |
Since contraries admit of an intermediate and in some cases have
it, intermediates must be composed of the contraries. |
| Paragraph 2 |
For (1) all
intermediates are in the same genus as the things between which they
stand. |
| Paragraph 3 |
But (2) all intermediates stand between opposites of some kind; |
| Paragraph 4 |
(3) If intermediates are in the same genus, as has been shown, and
stand between contraries, they must be composed of these contraries. |
| Paragraph 5 |
Therefore it is (b) with regard to these contraries which do not
fall within a genus that we must first ask of what their intermediates
are composed. |
| Paragraph 6 |
Clearly, then, intermediates are
|
| Paragraph 7 |
(1) all in the same genus
|
| Paragraph 8 |
and (2) intermediate between contraries,
|
| Paragraph 9 |
and (3) all compounded out of the contraries. |
