Logic IV. 167

, as he does, that absolute cold and absolute head are inconceivable ([ancient greek?] 24B) had contended himself with saying that they do not necessarily involve the idea of absolute limit, we ought to have assented. He, therefore, takes degree as a mark of the first, or indefinite category. But in whatever concept there is no greater or less, sich as equal, double, etc., that he referes to the category of the limit. Anything involving moderaetion and proportion ([ancient greek?] 26A) belongs to the third category: [ancient greek?] 26D. Now the mixed life belongs to the third category. The life of pleasure belongs to the first category, of the Indefinite, because it admits of more or less. It is almost to well known to be said that the Greeks looked upon infinity as essentially imperfect, a soft of chaos insofar as it has no limit. Now he asks in which of the four classes are to be placed.
