| §6. Relatives of Second Intention (cont.)
|
| By 'logical' reflexion, I mean the observation of thoughts in their expressions.
| Aquinas remarked that this sort of reflexion is requisite to furnish us with
| those ideas which, from lack of contrast, ordinary external experience fails
| to bring into prominence. He called such ideas 'second intentions'.
| It is by means of 'relatives of second intention' that the general
| method of logical representation is to find completion.
