|| All those who deal with logic aim to show that arguments are put together from propositions and propositions out of terms. Wherefore, a term is nothing other than a neighbouring part of a proposition. For in defining a term Aristotle (<i>Prior Analytics I</i>) says 'I call a 'term', that into which a proposition is analysed, such as a predicate and what it is predicated of, either by putting [terms] together to say what is the case (<i>esse</i>), or by separating them, to say what is not the case' [N1]. | || All those who deal with logic aim to show that arguments are put together from propositions and propositions out of terms.
