LessonsMental Implication and Degrees of Clarity in IndicationQuiz

وَأَمَّا فِي التَّضَمُّنِ فَلِأَنَّهُ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الْمَعْنَى جُزْءًا مِنْ شَيْءٍ وَجُزْءَ الْجُزْءِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ آخَرَ
With inclusion, degrees of clarity may arise because a meaning is a component of one thing and a component of another component of a larger thing.

Under a traditional philosophical analysis, “animal” is a relatively direct essential component of the conception “human,” whereas “body” is more remote, reached through a broader component. Moving from the whole sense to its nearby component can thus differ from moving through that component to a further level.

Here “component” is not always a physical fragment. It may be an analytic part of an essential concept. Thus “human,” “animal,” and “body” should not be reduced to the relation between a body and a detached limb.
