ABSTRACT

 1. We have seen the qualitative judgment rise to its full degree of explicitness and then pass into the judgment of comparison. This transition is necessitated by the character of the general content, which, to be definitely recognised as general, must be taken as applying beyond the bounds of the particular case. Here is already a vague reference to other cases, some of which are explicitly designated in the judgment of comparison. This transition, then, rests on the predicate—to give that name provisionally to the general content employed in judging. An analogous transition is determined by the subject—the individual presented.
