• “Laughing-capable body” for human is:
• For human, ḍāḥik alone is:
• Which combination makes a complete ḥadd?
• What makes a complete rasm?
• Why is “rational body” not a complete ḥadd?
• Why is “laughing-capable animal” not a complete ḥadd?
• What is lost if nāṭiq is removed from “rational animal”?
• If a definition has two words, what follows?
• In the traditional example, ḍāḥik means:
• If “neighing animal” defines horse, with neighing treated as a property, it is:
• In “rational substance” for human, substance is a:
• Why does “human — animal” fail as a complete ḥadd?
• Why is “walking” not equivalent to the textbook’s distinctive property for human?
• Replacing the proximate genus by a remote one, while keeping the differentia, yields:
• Keeping the proximate genus but replacing differentia with property changes:
• Remote genus plus a distinguishing property yields:
• Remote genus plus proximate differentia yields:
• The proximate differentia alone is classified as:
• A distinctive property alone is:
• What does incomplete mean in rasm nāqiṣ?
• What is a reliable first step in classification?
• What context is important when classifying “rational body”?
• Can a distinctive property simply be treated as a proximate differentia?
• What do rational animal, rational body, and rational alone share?
• What do laughing-capable animal, laughing-capable body and laughing-capable alone share?
• What main topic follows the discussion of definitions?
• Muʿarraf is the phrase that provides the definition.
• In “rational animal,” animal is proximate genus and rational is proximate differentia.
• Every two-term definition is a complete ḥadd.
• Ḍāḥik is the proximate differentia of human in the book.
• An incomplete ḥadd may consist of the proximate differentia alone.
• Complete rasm uses a proximate genus plus a distinctive property.
• An incomplete rasm must be false.
• A genus being proximate or remote is relative to the thing defined.
• Giving one broad genus always completes a definition.
• The discussion of explicative definitions belongs to the section on conceptions.
