3. The Third Figure
3. Questions about the Third Figure
We said that in the third figure, each
principle is applied to the others. And so
we ask:
20. Does contrariety apply to goodness,
greatness etc. as much as concordance
does? And we say it does not. Now
contrariety applies to them with privation
and opposition, whereas concordance
applies to them with addition and
agreement.
In the third figure it is said that goodness
is great. And so we ask:
21. What is great goodness? And we
answer that great goodness is the one
which agrees with all the principles and
their correlatives without any contrariety or
minority.
22. Question: where is goodness? Go to
camera BI and follow the signifiers.
24. Question: what is goodness made of?
24. Question: How does goodness exist?
Go to cameras BD and BK, and follow
their signifiers. And likewise with the rest.
25. Further, we ask: when is the intellect
universal and particular?
