ABSTRACT
SO far, attention has been directed mainly to one sense of resemblance; namely, that in which a resemblance is any qualitative identity distributed in at least two cases of itself. Presumably, it is fairly clear that, in this sense of the term, there can be no degrees of resemblance. Thus, the only form of comparison so far taken into account is that of the comparison of two or more cases of a qualitative identity. Accurate statements of any such comparison could properly describe no more than the cases of qualitative identity compared. But to compare C1 (abcd) with C2 (cdcf) in respect of the qualitative identities c and d is to do no more than that: it is not to find C1 and C2 more, or less, resembling.
